Overmassive No More: The Case for Little Red Dots Hosting Black Hole Seeds as Massive as Single Supermassive Stars
Wendy Q. Sun, Rohan P. Naidu, Hanpu Liu +17
Little Red Dots (LRDs) display singular properties unlike any known class of AGN or galaxies, motivating novel mass estimators for their central engines. Inspired by their similari…
Tracing the Evolution of the Balmer Break from Cosmic Dawn to Cosmic Noon with JWST
Adarsh Kuruvanthodi, Daniel Schaerer, Rui Marques-Chaves +3
The Balmer break (BB) is a key spectral feature for constraining stellar population ages, star formation histories, and redshifts of high-redshift sources. The redshift evolution a…
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…
Extended [CII] gas emission in and around a massive quiescent galaxy at z=7.3
F. Valentino, A. Pensabene, A. Weibel +16
We report the discovery of [CII] 158 micron emission in and around the most distant known massive quiescent galaxy RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7 at z = 7.27. Observed with ALMA in band 6, the […
Black Hole Stars Across the Universe: Identifying Central Engine Dominated Little Red Dots at
Andrea Weibel, Rohan P. Naidu, Pascal A. Oesch +16
Photometric selections of Little Red Dots (LRDs) largely rely on identifying their ``V-shaped'' spectral energy distribution (SED). Recent work suggests this V-shape stems from a c…
PANORAMIC: The Dawn of Massive Quiescent Galaxies I. Number Density and Cosmic Variance from 1000 arcmin NIRCam Imaging
Zhiyuan Ji, Christina C. Williams, Peter Behroozi +13
We measure the number density and field-to-field variance of massive quiescent galaxies at - 8 using the JWST/NIRCam pure-parallel imaging survey PANORAMIC together with a…
A PANORAMIC of UV-optical morphologies of "Little Red Dots": Two groups of LRDs distinguished by UV half-light radius
Aidan P. Cloonan, Katherine E. Whitaker, Sinclaire M. Manning +13
Among the most remarkable results from JWST is the discovery of abundant, compact, and very red sources in the early Universe known as "Little Red Dots" (LRDs). The relative degree…
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…
From Grism to IFU: Revising the Redshift and Nature of the Massive Dusty Galaxy S1 with JWST and ALMA
Mengyuan Xiao, Longji Bing, Gabriel Brammer +21
We report a revised spectroscopic redshift for the dusty massive galaxy S1, previously inferred with an exceptionally high baryon-to-star conversion efficiency from NIRCam slitless…
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…
