Researchers have identified candidate absorption features in the XMM-Newton spectrum of quasar WISEA J094835.95+432302.6, indicating potential relativistic inflow. This discovery offers valuable insight into the extreme accretion and outflow processes that characterized the 'cosmic noon' epoch, a period of intense cosmic star formation and black hole activity. These findings are preliminary and have not yet undergone peer review.
