JWST spectroscopy of galaxies at : Damped Ly absorbers reveal efficient star formation and hidden redshift biases
Kasper E. Heintz, Clara L. Pollock, Joris Witstok +23
Recent observations with JWST have revealed a remarkable population of surprisingly luminous galaxies at redshifts . Their abundance exceed predictions from simulations and e…
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…
Life After the Quasar: Overmassive Black Holes and Remnant Ionised Bubbles in and Around Two z~6.6 Galaxies
Romain A. Meyer, Pascal A. Oesch, Callum Witten +7
Supermassive black holes (SMBH, ) powering luminous quasars already exist one billion years after the Big Bang, yet their connection to their star-formi…
Direct pathway to the Early Supermassive Black Holes: A Red Super-Eddington Quasar in a Massive Starburst Host at
Qinyue Fei, Seiji Fujimoto, Gabriel Brammer +24
We present a panchromatic optical-mm characterization of GNz7q, a recently identified X-ray weak, rapidly growing red quasar embedded within a dusty starburst galaxy at ,…
Characterising Ly damping wings at the onset of reionisation: Evidence for highly efficient star formation driven by dense, neutral gas in UV-bright galaxies at
Clara L. Pollock, Kasper E. Heintz, Joris Witstok +23
One of the major conundrums in contemporary extragalactic astrophysics is the apparent overabundance of a remarkable population of UV-bright galaxies at redshifts . We…
Little Red Dots host Black Hole Stars: A unified family of gas-reddened AGN revealed by JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy
Anna de Graaff, Raphael E. Hviding, Rohan P. Naidu +35
We use the DAWN JWST Archive to construct and characterise a sample of 146 little red dots (LRDs) across 2.0<z<9.3, selecting all sources with v-shaped UV-optical continua from NIR…
