Probing the Physics of Dusty Outflows through Complex Organic Molecules in the Early Universe

Andrey Vayner, Tanio Díaz-Santos, Carl D. Ferkinhoff +22

Galaxy-scale outflows are of critical importance for galaxy formation and evolution. Dust grains are the main sites for the formation of molecules needed for star formation but are…

Investigating Little Red Dots with UV Excess: Are They the High-Redshift Siblings of Blue Hot DOGs?

Lulu Bao, Chao-Wei Tsai, Jingwen Wu +7

Little Red Dots (LRDs), newly identified compact and dusty galaxies with an unexpectedly high number density observed by JWST, have an unusual "V-shaped" rest-frame UV to near-infr…

Multi-Component Ionized Gas Outflows in a Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxy W2026+0716 with Keck/OSIRIS

Chao Liu, Chao-Wei Tsai, Peter R. M. Eisenhardt +15

We present narrowband-filtered integral field unit (IFU) observations of the Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxy (Hot DOG) WISE J202615.27071624.0 (hereafter W20260716) at redshift $z=2…

A Massive Gas Outflow Outside the Line-of-Sight: Imaging Polarimetry of the Blue Excess Hot Dust Obscured Galaxy W0204-0506

Roberto J. Assef, Marko Stalevski, Lee Armus +18

(Aims) Hot Dust Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs) are a population of hyper-luminous, heavily obscured quasars. Although nuclear obscurations close to Compton-thick are typical, a fract…

Resolving the black hole sphere of influence in a hyper-luminous obscured quasar at redshift 4.6

Mai Liao, Roberto J. Assef, Chao-Wei Tsai +17

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) imprint gravitational signatures on the matter within their sphere of influence (SoI). Nuclear gas dynamics can hence be used to accurately measure…

Searching for Low-Redshift Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies

Guodong Li, Jingwen Wu, Chao-Wei Tsai +13

Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs), discovered by the "W1W2 dropout" selection at high redshifts ( 2-4), are a rare population of hyper-luminous obscured quasars. Their n…
