- The confirmed black holes exhibited varying brightness across radio, X-ray, and optical wavelengths.
- Two candidates were misidentified due to background sources.
- The study underscores the importance of dwarf galaxies for understanding early black hole formation.
- Future observations with the James Webb Space Telescope could illuminate these findings.
