Little Red Dots (LRDs) are a unique class of compact, red sources discovered in the JWST extragalactic deep fields. Determining if they are indeed powered by accreting supermassive…
The Lifetimes of High-redshift Quasars Suggest Magnetic Disk Support
Jarrett Johnson, Phoebe Upton Sanderbeck, Nicole Lloyd-Ronning +2
It has recently been suggested that a variety of data on active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be explained if AGN disks are supported against gravitational fragmentation by magnetic fi…
Little Red Dots on FIRE: Exploring the formation and observational signatures of ultra-compact early galaxies

Madisyn Brooks, Jonathan R. Trump, Raymond C. Simons +19
JWST has revealed an abundance of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN) at high redshifts (), pushing the limits of black hole (BH) science in the early Universe. Resu…
Testing Photometric Techniques for Measuring the Rest-Frame UV Spectral Slope Against JWST PRISM Spectroscopy

Optical Strong Line Ratios Cannot Distinguish Between Stellar Populations and Accreting Black Holes at High Ionization Parameters and Low Metallicities
Nikko J. Cleri, Grace M. Olivier, Bren E. Backhaus +24
High-redshift observations from JWST indicate that optical strong line ratios do not carry the same constraining power as they do at low redshifts. Critically, this prevents a sepa…
