A Black Hole Star at Cosmic Noon: Extreme Balmer break, photospheric continuum, and broad absorption by thick winds in a Little Red Dot at z=1.7
Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee, Andrea Weibel +12
Recent studies at high redshift have revealed an enigmatic class of Little Red Dots (LRDs) with extreme Balmer breaks, stronger than in any stellar atmosphere. However, it is uncle…
Black Hole Stars Across the Universe: Identifying Central Engine Dominated Little Red Dots at
Andrea Weibel, Rohan P. Naidu, Pascal A. Oesch +16
Photometric selections of Little Red Dots (LRDs) largely rely on identifying their ``V-shaped'' spectral energy distribution (SED). Recent work suggests this V-shape stems from a c…
The Lumina Project: The Demographics of Active Galactic Nuclei from Quasars to Little Red Dots at
Xuejian Shen, Oliver Zier, Aaron Smith +16
High-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) serve as powerful probes of early black-hole growth, galaxy formation, and the evolving intergalactic medium (IGM). In this work, we use…
A new sample of Little Red Dots at in DESI DR1: Broad Balmer lines, low ionization spectrum and no variability
Kevin Park, Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee +4
JWST has unveiled an abundant population of compact broad-line emitters largely at , the Little Red Dots (LRDs), which might represent a previously unprobed supermassive…
Other red dots: A possible GLIMPSE of normal AGB stars at Cosmic Noon through extreme lensing
Lukas J. Furtak, Adi Zitrin, Erik Zackrisson +18
We report the discovery of four extremely faint () red point sources in recent ultra-deep JWST/NIRCam images of the strong lensing galaxy cluster Abell…
A Glimpse of the Low-Mass End of the Direct Mass-Metallicity Relation at
Tiger Yu-Yang Hsiao, John Chisholm, Danielle A. Berg +22
The competition between metal synthesis and feedback from massive stars establishes the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) at low-redshifts. Examining this relation at higher redshift…
