A Population of Little Red Dot-like Quasars in SDSS

Quinn O. Casey, Ryan C. Hickox, Nikko J. Cleri +6

Compact and red sources in the high redshift () Universe, known as "Little Red Dots" (LRDs), are among JWST's most intriguing discoveries. These sources have broad Balmer e…

Optical Strong Line Ratios Cannot Distinguish Between Stellar Populations and Accreting Black Holes at High Ionization Parameters and Low Metallicities

Nikko J. Cleri, Grace M. Olivier, Bren E. Backhaus +24

High-redshift observations from JWST indicate that optical strong line ratios do not carry the same constraining power as they do at low redshifts. Critically, this prevents a sepa…

Evidence for evolutionary pathway-dependent black hole scaling relations

Jonathan H. Cohn, Emmanuel Durodola, Quinn O. Casey +2

Recent observations have identified an abundance of high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) with supermassive black holes (BHs) that are over-massive compared to the local BH ma…

Modeling ALMA Observations of the Warped Molecular Gas Disk in the Red Nugget Relic Galaxy NGC 384

Jonathan H. Cohn, Maeve Curliss, Jonelle L. Walsh +9

We present 0-resolution CO(21) observations of the circumnuclear gas disk in the local compact galaxy NGC 384 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submill…

Circumnuclear Dust in Luminous Early-Type Galaxies -- I. Sample Properties and Stellar Luminosity Models

Jared R. Davidson, Benjamin D. Boizelle, Jonelle L. Walsh +8

Dusty circumnuclear disks (CNDs) in luminous early-type galaxies (ETGs) show regular, dynamically cold molecular gas kinematics. For a growing number of ETGs, Atacama Large Millime…
