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…
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…
JWST Reveals Two Overmassive Black Hole Candidates in Dwarf Galaxies at z 0.7: Pushing Black Hole Searches into the Dwarf-Galaxy Regime
E. Iani, P. Rinaldi, A. Torralba +35
We report the discovery and characterization of two compact galaxies, Pelias and Neleus, at z ~ 0.71 and z ~ 0.75, identified in MACS J0416.1-2403 and GOODS-North. Both exhibit unu…
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…
FRESCO: Constraining Dust Attenuation and Star-Formation Rates of Star-Forming Galaxies with JWST Paschen and Ground-Based Balmer Emission Line Observations
Michael A. Wozniak, Naveen A. Reddy, Pascal A. Oesch +7
We present new constraints on dust attenuation and star-formation rates (SFRs) for 77 galaxies at redshifts , using Paschen emission line detections from the JWST FRES…
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…
