Little Red Dots are Direct-Collapse Black Hole-Forming Galaxies
Daniel J. Whalen, Muhammad A. Latif, Konstantinos Topalakis +3
"Little Red Dots" (LRDs) at are one of the most challenging discoveries by JWST to date because their distinctive V-shaped spectra and compact morphologies (100 - 200 p…
SKAVLBI view of AGN jets in the early Universe
C. Spingola, M. Mezcua, Y. Liu +33
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are among the brightest sources in the Universe, and those that are also jetted are uniquely valuable at the earliest epochs, because their relativisti…
Little Red Dot progenitors from Compact Starbursts: A Natural Path to Early AGN Formation
Matías Liempi, Muhammad A. Latif, Dominik R. G. Schleicher
The recent discovery of Little Red Dots (LRDs) by the James Webb Space Telescope has challenged traditional models of early galaxy and black hole co-evolution. The nature of these…
Massive star clusters detected by JWST as natural birth places to form intermediate-mass black holes
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Matías Liempi, Mirek Giersz +11
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected, through gravitational lensing, several young massive star clusters (YMCs), which are considered as relevant building blocks of h…
How Overmassive Black Holes Formed at Cosmic Dawn
Muhammad A. Latif, Daniel J. Whalen, Sadegh Khochfar +1
Overmassive black hole galaxies (OBGs) at redshifts 10, or 450 Myr after the Big Bang, are one of the most puzzling discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope to date b…
Impact of subhalo dynamical friction heating on the formation of the first structures in the universe
Zhenyu Wu, Sadegh Khochfar, Muhammad A. Latif +2
We present a model for gas heating, driven by dynamical friction from orbiting subhalos within dark matter halos. Using data from the TNG50 simulation, we derive the subhalo mass f…
Euclid and Roman with JWST Could Reveal Quasars at up to 15
Muhammad A. Latif, Daniel J. Whalen
Although supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are found at the centers of most galaxies today, over 300 have now been discovered at 6, including UHZ1 at and GHZ9 at $z…
Radio Signatures of a Massive Black Hole in GHZ9 at z 10
Muhammad A. Latif, Daniel J. Whalen
Synergies between the {\em James Webb Space Telescope} ({\em JWST}) and the {\em Chandra} X-ray observatory have advanced the observational frontier by detecting a handful of activ…
Radio emission from little red dots may reveal their true nature
Muhammad A. Latif, Ammara Aftab, Daniel J. Whalen +1
The unprecedented sensitivity of the \textit{James Webb Space Telescope} (\textit{JWST}) has revolutionized our understanding of the early universe. Among the most intriguing \text…
1000-10,000 M Primordial Stars Created the Nitrogen Excess in GS 3073 at
Devesh Nandal, Daniel J. Whalen, Muhammad A. Latif +1
The advent of the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a wealth of new galaxies just a few hundred Myr after the Big Bang. Some of these galaxies exhibit unusual N/O ratios that…
Abundant Water from Early Supernovae at Cosmic Dawn
Daniel J. Whalen, Muhammad A. Latif, Christopher Jessop
Primordial (or Pop III) supernovae were the first nucleosynthetic engines in the Universe, forging the heavy elements required for the later formation of planets and life. Water, i…
Planet Formation at Cosmic Dawn: Planetesimals in HO-Rich Disks Around Low-Mass Stars
Eduard I. Vorobyov, Daniel J. Whalen, Muhammad A. Latif +5
Primordial, or Pop III, supernovae (SNe) were the first, great nucleosynthetic engines in the Universe, forging the heavy elements required for the later formation of planets, and…
Radio Emission from High-Redshift Active Galactic Nuclei in the JADES and CEERS Surveys
Muhammad A. Latif, Ammara Aftab, Daniel J. Whalen
Recent calculations indicate that radio emission from quasars at 6 - 7 could be detected at much earlier stages of evolution, at 14 - 15, by the Next-Generation V…
