BlackTHUNDER Reveals a Massive Filament around a Compact AGN at
Giulia Tozzi, Hannah Ãbler, Eleonora Parlanti +27
Despite the growing number of compact active galactic nuclei (AGN) at discovered by JWST, their formation and evolution remain poorly understood. This paper investigates the…
No evolution in the number density of little red dots from cosmic dawn to cosmic noon
Federica Loiacono, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +24
We present our search for little red dots (LRDs) in the "J1030 field", a region of the sky around the quasar SDSS J1030+0524, observed by the JWST EIGER program. Over 1…
Little Red and Blue Dots: AGN-excited narrow lines, Lyman- emission, and resemblance to standard quasars
Sophia Geris, Roberto Maiolino, Xihan Ji +35
We present an analysis of a sample of 36 Little Red and Blue Dots (LRDs and LBDs) at , identified by JWST in the GOODS fields. While both categories are selected to ha…
JADES: the mass-metallicity relation at . New calibrations, extremely metal-poor galaxies, and chemical diversity
Yuki Isobe, Mirko Curti, Roberto Maiolino +28
We present gas-phase metallicities of star-forming galaxies at -10 with deep JWST/NIRSpec spectra from the JADES full data release, Dark Horse, and OASIS programmes. We stack…
A Steep-Extinction QSO at z=4.6: JWST Evidence for Abundant Small Dust Grains
Mingyu Li, Zheng Cai, Roberto Maiolino +9
The rapid accumulation of massive dust reservoirs in the early Universe remains a major challenge in astrophysics. While core-collapse supernovae can inject large dust grains ($a \…
BlackTHUNDER: Evidence of three massive black holes in a z~5 galaxy
Hannah Ãbler, Giovanni Mazzolari, Roberto Maiolino +41
We present observational evidence of three massive, accreting black holes (BHs) in the z=5.0167 galaxy J0148-4214 from JWST/NIRSpec-IFU spectroscopy. The BHs are revealed through b…
