JWST-discovered AGN: evidence for heavy obscuration in the type-2 sample from the first stacked X-ray detection

Andrea Comastri, Giorgio Lanzuisi, Fabio Vito +9

One of the most puzzling properties of the high-redshift AGN population recently discovered by JWST, including both broad-line and narrow-line sources, is their X-ray weakness. Wit…

BlackTHUNDER: Evidence of three massive black holes in a z~5 galaxy

Hannah Übler, Giovanni Mazzolari, Roberto Maiolino +41

We present observational evidence of three massive, accreting black holes (BHs) in the z=5.0167 galaxy J0148-4214 from JWST/NIRSpec-IFU spectroscopy. The BHs are revealed through b…

BASS. XLIX. Characterization of highly luminous and obscured AGNs: local X-ray and [NeV]3426 emission in comparison with the high-redshift Universe

Alessandro Peca, Michael J. Koss, Kyuseok Oh +21

We present a detailed analysis of the most luminous and obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) detected in the ultra-hard X-ray band (14-195 keV) by Swift/BAT. Our sample comprises…

The properties of X-ray selected AGN in protoclusters pinpointed by Enormous Lya Nebulae

A. Traina, F. Vito, F. Arrigoni-Battaia +11

Protoclusters of galaxies are overdense regions of the Universe characterized by large gas reservoirs. Such environments make them perfect laboratories to investigate galaxy-AGN co…

JADES and BlackTHUNDER: rest-frame Balmer-line absorption and the local environment in a Little Red Dot at z = 5

Francesco D'Eugenio, Ignas Juodžbalis, Xihan Ji +32

We present a broad-line AGN at z=5.077, observed with both NIRSpec/MSA and NIRSpec/IFU by the JADES and BlackTHUNDER surveys. The target exhibits all the hallmark features of a 'Li…

A big red dot at cosmic noon

Federica Loiacono, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +22

We report the discovery of a little red dot (LRD), dubbed BiRD ('big red dot'), at in the field around the quasar SDSSJ1030+0524. Using NIRCam images, we identifie…
