Balmer Absorption Series and Broad Metal Lines in Two Luminous Little Red Dots
Bingjie Wang, Jenny E. Greene, Hanpu Liu +21
Balmer absorption is common among little red dots (LRDs), but absorbers at or redward of systemic are rare, occurring in only \% of H absorbers. In this paper, we stu…
How can we finally see the first light? Status and perspective in the search for Population III stars
Alessandra Venditti, Daniel Schaerer, Erik Zackrisson +26
Finding the first (Population III or Pop III) stars is one of the fundamental quests of astronomy, aiming to deliver the missing link in how stars form at early cosmic times. Yet t…
BASILISK IV. No Tension with Satellite Kinematics
Kaustav Mitra, Frank C. van den Bosch, Josephine Baggen +1
We develop a novel technique to probe the tension, using information from the smallest scales of galaxy redshift survey data. Specifically, we use Basilisk, a Bayesian hierar…
(Re)solving the Complex Multiscale Morphology and V-shaped Spectral Energy Distribution of a Newly Discovered Strongly Lensed Little Red Dot in A383
Josephine F. W. Baggen, Pieter van Dokkum, Ivo Labbé +1
We present a luminous "little red dot" (LRD) at = 6.027, doubly imaged by the galaxy cluster A383 and observed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRCam. Owing to its l…
Irony at z=6.68: a bright AGN with forbidden Fe emission and multi-component Balmer absorption
Francesco D'Eugenio, Erica Nelson, Xihan Ji +11
We present the deepest medium-resolution JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy to date of a bright Little Red Dot (LRD) AGN, Irony at z=6.68. The data reveal broad Balmer emission from H-H$…
The Impact of Baryonic Effects on the Dynamical Masses Inferred Using Satellite Kinematics
Josephine F. W. Baggen, Frank C. van den Bosch, Kaustav Mitra
Satellite kinematics offers a powerful method to infer dynamical halo masses and has been demonstrated to yield tight constraints on the galaxy-halo connection. However, previous s…
The Infinity Galaxy: a Candidate Direct-Collapse Supermassive Black Hole Between Two Massive, Ringed Nuclei
Pieter van Dokkum, Gabriel Brammer, Josephine F. W. Baggen +3
We report the discovery of an unusual z=1.14 object, dubbed the galaxy, in JWST imaging of the COSMOS field. Its rest-frame near-IR light is dominated by two compact nucle…
Further Evidence for a Direct-Collapse Origin of the Supermassive Black Hole at the Center of the Infinity Galaxy
Pieter van Dokkum, Gabriel Brammer, Connor Jennings +2
The z=1.14 galaxy consists of two ringed nuclei with an active supermassive black hole (SMBH) in between them. The system is likely the result of a nearly face-on collisio…
A "Black Hole Star" Reveals the Remarkable Gas-Enshrouded Hearts of the Little Red Dots
Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Harley Katz +48
The physical processes that led to the formation of billion solar mass black holes within the first 700 million years of cosmic time remain a puzzle. Several theoretical scenarios…
A remarkable Ruby: Absorption in dense gas, rather than evolved stars, drives the extreme Balmer break of a Little Red Dot at
Anna de Graaff, Hans-Walter Rix, Rohan P. Naidu +25
The origin of the rest-optical emission of compact, red, high-redshift sources known as `little red dots' (LRDs) poses a major puzzle. If interpreted as starlight, it would imply t…
RUBIES Reveals a Massive Quiescent Galaxy at z=7.3
Andrea Weibel, Anna de Graaff, David J. Setton +26
We report the spectroscopic discovery of a massive quiescent galaxy at , just Myr after the Big Bang. RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7 was selected from public…
The Small Sizes and High Implied Densities of `Little Red Dots' with Balmer Breaks Could Explain Their Broad Emission Lines Without an AGN
Josephine F. W. Baggen, Pieter van Dokkum, Gabriel Brammer +10
Early JWST studies found an apparent population of massive, compact galaxies at redshifts . Recently three of these galaxies were shown to have prominent Balmer breaks,…
RUBIES: Evolved Stellar Populations with Extended Formation Histories at in Candidate Massive Galaxies Identified with JWST/NIRSpec
Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja, Anna de Graaff +17
The identification of red, apparently massive galaxies at in early JWST photometry suggests a strongly accelerated timeline compared to standard models of galaxy growth. A ma…
Quiescent or dusty? Unveiling the nature of extremely red galaxies at
L. Barrufet, P. Oesch, R. Marques-Chaves +15
The advent of the JWST has revolutionised our understanding of high-redshift galaxies. In particular, the NIRCam instrument on-board JWST has revealed a population of Hubble Space…
Sizes and mass profiles of candidate massive galaxies discovered by JWST at 7<z<9: evidence for very early formation of the central ~100 pc of present-day ellipticals
Josephine F. W. Baggen, Pieter van Dokkum, Ivo Labbe +8
The first JWST data revealed an unexpected population of red galaxies that appear to have redshifts of and high masses of 10 M (Labbé et a…
Comparing hypervelocity star populations from the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way
Fraser A. Evans, Tommaso Marchetti, Elena Maria Rossi +2
We predict and compare the distributions and properties of hyper-velocity stars (HVSs) ejected from the centres of the Milky Way (MW) and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In our m…
