Pulsational Instability of Quasi-Stars: Interpreting the Variability of Little Red Dots
Matteo Cantiello, Jake B. Hassan, Rosalba Perna +5
The JWST discovery of "Little Red Dots" (LRDs) has revealed a population of compact, red sources at that likely host supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Recent observat…
The Growth of the Central Black Holes in Quasi-stars
Jake Hassan, Rosalba Perna, Matteo Cantiello +3
Observations by JWST have confirmed the presence of supermassive black holes (BHs) at redshifts , lending support to scenarios in which BHs experience rapid growth thro…
Little Red Dots As Late-stage Quasi-stars
Mitchell C. Begelman, Jason Dexter
We argue that the "Little Red Dots" (LRDs) discovered with the James Webb Space Telescope are quasi-stars in their late stages of evolution. Quasi-stars are hypothetical objects pr…
Energy Diffusion and Advection Coefficients in Kinetic Simulations of Relativistic Plasma Turbulence
Kai W. Wong, Vladimir Zhdankin, Dmitri A. Uzdensky +2
Turbulent, relativistic nonthermal plasmas are ubiquitous in high-energy astrophysical systems, as inferred from broadband nonthermal emission spectra. The underlying turbulent non…
