Tracing the Evolution of the Balmer Break from Cosmic Dawn to Cosmic Noon with JWST
Adarsh Kuruvanthodi, Daniel Schaerer, Rui Marques-Chaves +3
The Balmer break (BB) is a key spectral feature for constraining stellar population ages, star formation histories, and redshifts of high-redshift sources. The redshift evolution a…
Little Red Dots as Intermediate Mass, Super-Eddington Engines: Insights from Type IIn Supernovae and The 1837-1856 Great Eruption of Carinae
Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Anna de Graaff +20
JWST's Little Red Dots (LRDs) display a unique constellation of features that do not occur simultaneously in any other class of galaxies or AGN. Here we observe that many of these…
Extended [CII] gas emission in and around a massive quiescent galaxy at z=7.3
F. Valentino, A. Pensabene, A. Weibel +16
We report the discovery of [CII] 158 micron emission in and around the most distant known massive quiescent galaxy RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7 at z = 7.27. Observed with ALMA in band 6, the […
Exploring Cosmic Dawn with PANORAMIC II: Cosmic Variance and Galaxy Clustering at
Andrea Weibel, Christian Kragh Jespersen, Pascal A. Oesch +10
Observational campaigns with JWST have revealed a higher-than-expected abundance of UV-bright galaxies at , with various proposed theoretical explanations. A powerful c…
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…
