A Critical Evaluation of the Physical Nature of the Little Red Dots
Kohei Inayoshi, Luis C. Ho
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are a newly identified class of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) uncovered by JWST deep surveys. Their enigmatic properties challenge the canonical AGN paradigm…
Discovery of two little red dots transitioning into quasars
Shuqi Fu, Zijian Zhang, Danyang Jiang +9
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a new population of compact objects that show a unique V-shaped spectral energy distribution (SED) in the UV and optical wavelength…
On the Variability Features of Active Galactic Nuclei in Little Red Dots
Shuying Zhou, Mouyuan Sun, Zijian Zhang +2
The high-redshift () compact sources with ``V-shaped" spectral energy distributions (SEDs), known as Little Red Dots (LRDs), are discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope a…
JWST Insights into Narrow-line Little Red Dots
Zijian Zhang, Linhua Jiang, Weiyang Liu +2
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed a population of red and compact objects with a unique V-shape SED at z >= 4 known as Little Red Dots (LRDs). Most of the LRDs with ex…
The Physical Nature of the Off-centered Extended Emission Associated with the Little Red Dots
Chang-Hao Chen, Luis C. Ho, Ruancun Li +1
A significant fraction of little red dots (LRDs) exhibit nearby extended emission of unknown origin. If physically associated with the LRD, this component may trace stellar emissio…
Dust Budget Crisis in Little Red Dots
Kejian Chen, Zhengrong Li, Kohei Inayoshi +1
Little red dots (LRDs), a population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) recently identified by JWST, are characterized by their compact morphology and red optical continuum emission,…
