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…
Little Red Dot Host Galaxy Black Hole Star: A Gas-Enshrouded Heart at the Center of Every Little Red Dot
Wendy Q. Sun, Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee +30
The central engines of Little Red Dots (LRDs) may be ``black hole stars" (BH*s), early stages of black hole growth characterized by dense gas envelopes. So far, the most direct evi…
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…
Winding Back the Clock: Recent Star Formation Histories of Massive Quiescent Galaxies Are Consistent With Their Rapid Number Density Evolution Since
Yunchong Zhang, Zhiyuan Ji, Rachel Bezanson +17
Massive quiescent galaxies have been identified out to in early JWST data in a substantial excess ( at ) of number densities from most theoretical…
Discovery of Ancient Globular Cluster Candidates in the Relic, a Quiescent Galaxy at
Katherine E. Whitaker, Sam E. Cutler, Rupali Chandar +31
Globular clusters (GCs) are some of the oldest bound structures in the Universe, holding clues to the earliest epochs of star formation and galaxy assembly. However, accurate age m…
Everything Every Band All at Once I: A Global Morphology Catalog in Abell 2744 based on UNCOVER/MegaScience
Yunchong Zhang, Tim B. Miller, Sedona H. Price +31
We present spectrally-resolved structural parameter measurements of 28,274 sources from the legacy lensing field of Abell 2744, quantifying global structures from observed $0.7 μm…
