A quasar hatching from a buried red phase at z = 3.7

Zheng Ma, Yongda Zhu, Zhiyuan Ji +21

We present JADES-GS 209777, previously cataloged as CANDELS J033238.02-274626.2, hereafter "the Hatchling," a red quasar at . While the source has been reported in earlier…

Through the Veil: Ly Illuminates the Host Galaxies of Little Red Dots

Zhiyuan Ji, Yang Sun, Mauro Giavalisco +5

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are enigmatic, compact red sources ubiquitous in JWST deep fields whose physical nature remains elusive. As one of the most sensitive tracers of neutral hydr…

Confirming Near- to Mid-IR Photometrically-Identified Obscured AGNs in the JWST era

George H. Rieke, Yang Sun, Jianwei Lyu +6

We evaluate the underlying assumptions for the identification of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) through near- and mid-infrared photometry and spectral energy distribution (SED) fitt…

Quasar Radiative Feedback May Suppress Galaxy Growth on Intergalactic Scales at

Yongda Zhu, Eiichi Egami, Xiaohui Fan +27

We present observational evidence that intense ionizing radiation from a luminous quasar suppresses nebular emission in nearby galaxies on intergalactic scales at . Using JW…

The quasar ULAS J1120+0641 May Never Reach a "Normal" Black Hole to Stellar Mass Ratio

Meredith A. Stone, George H. Rieke, Jianwei Lyu +4

JWST observations of quasars in the Epoch of Reionization have revealed that many lie in host galaxies that are severely undermassive relative to the supermassive black holes. It i…

SMILES Data Release II: Probing Galaxy Evolution during Cosmic Noon and Beyond with NIRSpec Medium-Resolution Spectra

Yongda Zhu, Nina Bonaventura, Yang Sun +12

We present the second data release of the Systematic Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Legacy Extragalactic Survey (SMILES), focusing on JWST/NIRSpec medium-resolution spectroscopy of…
