A Dusty Quenching-candidate AGN host at z=5.7: massive quiescent galaxies may quench already during the dust-obscured phase

Francesco D'Eugenio, Matilde Brazzini, Roberto Maiolino +12

We present a spectro-photometric analysis of RUBIES-EGS-9809, a broad-line AGN host at z=5.7 with a Balmer break and a dominant point source. The source is dust reddened (3 m…

Misaligned or chaotic? A strong break of axial symmetry in the local LRD J1025 revealed with VLT/FORS2 spectropolarimetry

Francesco D'Eugenio, Gabriele Pezzulli, Roberto Maiolino +18

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact active galactic nuclei (AGN) with unusual spectral energy distributions and broad Balmer emission, candidate signposts of rapid black-hole growth…

GA-NIFS: The interplay between feedback and star formation at 3 < z < 9 probed by JWST/NIRSpec IFU

L. Ulivi, M. Perna, S. Arribas +24

The study of starburst- and AGN-driven feedback is fundamental for understanding the processes that shape galaxy growth, quench star formation, and drive the co-evolution of galaxi…

JADES: the mass-metallicity relation at . New calibrations, extremely metal-poor galaxies, and chemical diversity

Yuki Isobe, Mirko Curti, Roberto Maiolino +28

We present gas-phase metallicities of star-forming galaxies at -10 with deep JWST/NIRSpec spectra from the JADES full data release, Dark Horse, and OASIS programmes. We stack…

The Cliff: A Metal-Poor Little Red Dot Hosting an Overmassive Black Hole at

Lucy R. Ivey, Francesco D'Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino +18

JWST has revealed a large population of massive black holes (BHs) in the early Universe with unusual properties which mark them as distinct from low-redshift active galactic nuclei…

The search for Population III: Confirmation of a HeII emitter with no metal lines at z=10.6

Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Übler, Michele Perna +49

We report the confirmation of a HeII1640 emitter located at 3 pkpc from the galaxy GN-z11, at z=10.6. The detection, based on JWST NIRSpec-IFU high-resolution spectroscopy, conf…

Holes in the BH? AGN signatures in the FUV spectrum of a black-hole dominated Little Red Dot at

Xihan Ji, Gabriele Pezzulli, Francesco D'Eugenio +15

It has been suggested that "Little Red Dots" (LRDs) might be accreting black holes enshrouded by dense gas in a nearly closed geometry, which completely covers the central black ho…

GA-NIFS: Dissecting The Alchemised: JWST reveals turbulent metal-poor gas fuelling a co-spatial starburst in a complex system at

Robert G. Pascalau, Francesco D'Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino +25

Recent observations revealed that distant galaxies have bursty star formation histories, regulated by stellar or active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback and gas inflows. According to…

GA-NIFS: A smouldering disk galaxy undergoing ordered rotation at z=4.26

Gareth C. Jones, Roberto Maiolino, Francesco D'Eugenio +13

Rotating galaxies with relaxed gaseous disks have been discovered across cosmic time, from the local Universe to high redshift (z>4). But few such sources have been confirmed at z>…

Galaxy Mergers in the Epoch of Reionization II: Major Merger-Triggered Star Formation and AGN Activities at 4.5-8.5

Qiao Duan, Qiong Li, Christopher J. Conselice +29

Galaxy mergers are a key driver of galaxy formation and evolution, including the triggering of AGN and star formation to a still unknown degree. We thus investigate the impact of g…
