Little red dot variability over a century reveals black hole envelope via a giant Einstein cross

Zijian Zhang, Mingyu Li, Masamune Oguri +79

"Little red dots" (LRDs) represent a new population of astronomical objects uncovered by JWST whose nature remains debated. Although many LRDs are suspected as active galactic nucl…

The Mass-Metallicity Relation and its Observational Effects at z~3-6

Zach Lewis, Michael V. Maseda, Anna de Graaff +21

The correlation between galaxy stellar mass and gas-phase metallicity, known as the mass-metallicity relation (MZR), gives key insights into the processes that govern galaxy evolut…

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…

Where Galaxies Go to Die: The Environments of Massive Quiescent Galaxies at

Ian McConachie, Anna de Graaff, Michael V. Maseda +25

At low redshift, massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) are most frequently found in massive, rich galaxy clusters, but at high redshift the trend is less clear. Here, we present spectr…

Discovery of red galaxy candidates at z ~ 12: Early dust growth or significant nebular emission with high-temperature stars?

Ikki Mitsuhashi, Katherine A. Suess, Joel Leja +18

We report the discovery of two z ~ 12 galaxy candidates with unusually red UV slopes (betaUV ~> -1.5), and probe the origin of such colors at cosmic dawn. From Prospector fits to t…

What you see is what you get: empirically measured bolometric luminosities of Little Red Dots

Jenny E. Greene, David J. Setton, Lukas J. Furtak +27

New populations of red active galactic nuclei (known as ``Little Red Dots'') discovered by JWST exhibit remarkable spectral energy distributions. Leveraging X-ray through far-infra…

No Luminous Little Red Dots: A Sharp Cutoff in Their Luminosity Function

Yilun Ma, Jenny E. Greene, Marta Volonteri +14

One of the most surprising results of early James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations is the discovery of an abundance of red, compact, broad-line objects dubbed "little red d…

MINERVA: A NIRCam Medium Band and MIRI Imaging Survey to Unlock the Hidden Gems of the Distant Universe

Adam Muzzin, Katherine A. Suess, Danilo Marchesini +81

We present an overview of the MINERVA survey, a 259.8 hour (prime) and 127 hour (parallel) Cycle 4 treasury program on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). MINERVA is obtaining 8…

Population Models for Star Formation Timescales in Early Galaxies: The First Step Towards Solving Outshining in Star Formation History Inference

Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja, Hakim Atek +13

JWST have revealed temporarily-quenched and ultraviolet-luminous galaxies in the early universe, suggesting enhanced star formation stochasticity. Verifying this hypothesis is crit…

Counting Little Red Dots at with Ground-based Surveys and Spectroscopic Follow-up

Yilun Ma, Jenny E. Greene, David J. Setton +13

Little red dots (LRDs) are a population of red, compact objects discovered by JWST at . At , they are roughly 100 times more abundant than UV-selected quasars. However,…

The Structure and Formation Histories of Low-Mass Quiescent Galaxies in the Abell 2744 Cluster Environment

Sam E. Cutler, John R. Weaver, Katherine E. Whitaker +21

Low-mass quiescent galaxies are thought to predominantly reside in overdense regions, as environmental effects are often invoked to explain their shutdown of star formation. These…

A confirmed deficit of hot and cold dust emission in the most luminous Little Red Dots

David J. Setton, Jenny E. Greene, Justin S. Spilker +33

Luminous broad H emission and red rest-optical SEDs are the hallmark of compact Little Red Dots (LRDs), implying highly attenuated dusty starbursts and/or obscured active galact…

A remarkable Ruby: Absorption in dense gas, rather than evolved stars, drives the extreme Balmer break of a Little Red Dot at

Anna de Graaff, Hans-Walter Rix, Rohan P. Naidu +25

The origin of the rest-optical emission of compact, red, high-redshift sources known as `little red dots' (LRDs) poses a major puzzle. If interpreted as starlight, it would imply t…
