Water absorption confirms cool atmospheres in two little red dots

Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja, Ivo Labbe +35

Little red dots (LRDs) are an abundant population of compact high-redshift sources with red rest-frame optical continua, discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Their…

It's More Complicated Than You Think: A Forward Model to Infer the Recent Star Formation History, Bursty or Not, of Galaxy Populations

Emilie Burnham, Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja +14

Observations of the early Universe (z > 4) with the James Webb Space Telescope reveal galaxy populations with a wide range of intrinsic luminosities and colors. Bursty star formati…

The X-Ray Dot: Exotic Dust or a Late-Stage Little Red Dot?

Raphael E. Hviding, Anna de Graaff, Hanpu Liu +15

JWST's "Little Red Dots" (LRDs) are increasingly interpreted as active galactic nuclei (AGN) obscured by dense thermalized gas rather than dust as evidenced by their X-ray weakness…

A GLIMPSE of Intermediate Mass Black holes in the epoch of reionization: Witnessing the Descendants of Direct Collapse?

Qinyue Fei, Seiji Fujimoto, Rohan P. Naidu +17

JWST has revealed an abundance of supermassive black holes (BHs) in the early Universe, and yet the lowest mass seed black holes that gave rise to these populations remain elusive.…

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$…

Meet the Neighbors: Gas Rich "Buddy Galaxies" are Common Around Recently Quenched Massive Galaxies in the SQuIGGE Survey

Anika Kumar, David J. Setton, Rachel Bezanson +7

In this work, we characterize the environments of massive () post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) by studying serendipitously-detected CO(2-1) e…
