Abstract content
High redshift massive protogalaxies, the sites of early star formation in the Universe, provided a suitable environment for the formation of the first supermassive black holes. Mass accretion causes the black hole to grow and become a gamma-ray blazar for those observers privileged by a line of sight parralel to the jet. Possible evolutionary sequences are explored in terms of their visibility in the millimeter, optical and gamma-ray regimes.
