Little Red Dots at z~2 in EIGER reveal a gentle decline with respect to their peak number density at z~5
Shrriya Kapoor, Jorryt Matthee, Alberto Torralba +10
We report the discovery of a sample of little red dots (LRDs) at identified from deep JWST/NIRCam imaging and wide-field slitless spectroscopy over arcmin f…
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…
Little Red Dot Host Galaxy Black Hole Star: A Gas-Enshrouded Heart at the Center of Every Little Red Dot
Wendy Q. Sun, Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee +30
The central engines of Little Red Dots (LRDs) may be ``black hole stars" (BH*s), early stages of black hole growth characterized by dense gas envelopes. So far, the most direct evi…
A new sample of Little Red Dots at in DESI DR1: Broad Balmer lines, low ionization spectrum and no variability
Kevin Park, Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee +4
JWST has unveiled an abundant population of compact broad-line emitters largely at , the Little Red Dots (LRDs), which might represent a previously unprobed supermassive…
Diversity and Evolution of Dust Attenuation Curves from Redshift z ~ 1 to 9
Irene Shivaei, Rohan P. Naidu, Francisco Rodriguez Montero +23
The UV-optical dust attenuation curve is key to interpreting the intrinsic properties of galaxies and provides insights into the nature of dust grains and their geometry relative t…
The warm outer layer of a Little Red Dot as the source of [Fe II] and collisional Balmer lines with scattering wings
Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee, Gabriele Pezzulli +22
The population of the Little Red Dots (LRDs) may represent a key phase of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. A cocoon of dense excited gas is emerging as key component to expla…
