Rapid, out of equilibrium metal enrichment indicated by a flat mass-metallicity relation at z~6 from NIRCam grism spectroscopy

Gauri Kotiwale, Jorryt Matthee, Daichi Kashino +17

We aim to characterise the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) and the 3D correlation between stellar mass, metallicity and star-formation rate (SFR) known as the fundamental metallici…

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 +34

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…

The slope and scatter of the star forming main sequence at z~5 : reconciling observations with simulations

Claudia Di Cesare, Jorryt Matthee, Rohan P. Naidu +17

Galaxies exhibit a tight correlation between their star-formation rate and stellar mass over a wide redshift range known as the star-forming main sequence (SFMS). With JWST, we can…

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…

Irony at z=6.68: a bright AGN with forbidden Fe emission and multi-component Balmer absorption

Francesco D'Eugenio, Erica Nelson, Xihan Ji +11

We present the deepest medium-resolution JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy to date of a bright Little Red Dot (LRD) AGN, Irony at z=6.68. The data reveal broad Balmer emission from H-H$…

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…

A weak Ly halo for an extremely bright Little Red Dot: Indications of enshrouded SMBH growth

Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee, Gabriele Pezzulli +13

The abundant population of "Little Red Dots" (LRDs)-compact objects with red UV to optical colors and broad Balmer lines at high redshift-is unveiling new insights into the propert…

A "Black Hole Star" Reveals the Remarkable Gas-Enshrouded Hearts of the Little Red Dots

Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Harley Katz +48

The physical processes that led to the formation of billion solar mass black holes within the first 700 million years of cosmic time remain a puzzle. Several theoretical scenarios…
