Local Analogs of Little Red Dots: Optical Variability and Evidence for an Active Galatic Nucleus Origin

Ruqiu Lin, Zhen-Ya Zheng, Junxian Wang +9

Little red dots (LRDs) draw extensive attention because of their unique observational characteristics and apparent overabundance in the early Universe, raising new insights into ea…

The Extreme Rarity and Physical Properties of Low-redshift AGNs with Balmer Absorption

Jinyi Shangguan, Chang-Hao Chen, Luis C. Ho +6

Balmer absorption lines are increasingly observed in the little red dots (LRDs) discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope, potentially tracing dense circumnuclear gas around rap…

COSMOS-3D: Dense Circumnuclear Gas across Black Hole Growth Phases at z ~ 3

Zi-Jian Li, Siwei Zou, Jianwei Lyu +25

We report the discovery of two broad-line X-ray AGNs (cid_414 and cid_947) at z ~ 3 identified in the JWST Cycle 3 COSMOS-3D program using NIRCam F444W grism spectroscopy. Both exh…

JWST Insights into Narrow-line Little Red Dots

Zijian Zhang, Linhua Jiang, Weiyang Liu +2

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed a population of red and compact objects with a unique V-shape SED at z >= 4 known as Little Red Dots (LRDs). Most of the LRDs with ex…

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…
