Spatial decomposition of Little Red Dots with JWST/NIRSpec IFU into broad-line red cores and narrow-line blue host galaxies
Yuzo Ishikawa, Anna-Christina Eilers, Rohan P. Naidu +11
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are a population of compact red sources discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Imaging and spectroscopy have shown that LRDs exhibit a complex…
Constraints on the Gas Geometry Surrounding Little Red Dots through Narrow-Line Diagnostics
Visal Sok, Erica J. Nelson, Mitchell C. Begelman +10
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are a recently identified population of high-redshift sources, with a common interpretation being accreting black holes embedded within a spherical, opticall…
A Black Hole Star at Cosmic Noon: Extreme Balmer break, photospheric continuum, and broad absorption by thick winds in a Little Red Dot at z=1.7
Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee, Andrea Weibel +12
Recent studies at high redshift have revealed an enigmatic class of Little Red Dots (LRDs) with extreme Balmer breaks, stronger than in any stellar atmosphere. However, it is uncle…
Black Hole Stars Across the Universe: Identifying Central Engine Dominated Little Red Dots at
Andrea Weibel, Rohan P. Naidu, Pascal A. Oesch +16
Photometric selections of Little Red Dots (LRDs) largely rely on identifying their ``V-shaped'' spectral energy distribution (SED). Recent work suggests this V-shape stems from a c…
Disentangling the galactic and intergalactic components in 313 observed Lyman-alpha line profiles between redshift 0 and 5
Siddhartha Gurung-López, Chris Byrohl, Max Gronke +5
Lyman-Alpha (Lya) photons emitted in star-forming galaxies undergo complex radiative transfer through the interstellar (ISM), circumgalactic (CGM), and intergalactic medium (IGM),…
How I Wonder What You Are -- JWST's Little Red Dots do not TWINKLE
Zhaoran Liu, Rohan P. Naidu, Amy Secunda +20
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are a population of compact, red sources that have emerged as one of the most puzzling findings of JWST. Variability provides a direct probe of their central…
