Another Piece to the Puzzle: Radio Detection of a JWST-detected Active Galactic Nucleus Candidate by Anniek J. Gloudemans, Kenneth J. Duncan, Anna-Christina Eilers, Emanuele Paolo Farina, Yuichi Harikane, Kohei Inayoshi, Erini Lambrides, Eleni Vardoulaki

“…We demonstrate that these results are still consistent with expectations from the empirical L _X – L _H _α and L _X – L _R correlations established for local AGN. We argue that current radio observations in these studied fields have insufficient depth to claim JWST-discovered AGN candidates are radio weak. …”
