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…
Do Little Red Dots Vary?
Amy Secunda, Rachel S. Somerville, Yan-Fei Jiang +3
Little red dots (LRDs), high-redshift, compact, red objects with V-shaped spectra, are one of the most exciting and perplexing discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope (J…
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…
The Missing Hard Photons of Little Red Dots: Their Incident Ionizing Spectra Resemble Massive Stars
Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja, Harley Katz +11
The nature of Little Red Dots (LRDs) has largely been investigated through their continuum emission, with lines assumed to arise from a broad-line region. In this paper, we instead…
