BlackTHUNDER: Evidence of three massive black holes in a z~5 galaxy
Hannah Ãbler, 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…
GLIMPSE-DDT spectroscopic properties of faint-end galaxies at : Towards first metal enrichment, dust production, and ionizing photon production
Yoshihisa Asada, Seiji Fujimoto, John Chisholm +16
Ultra-faint galaxies at high- are fundamental elements of the early galaxy assembly, and spectroscopic characterization of this population is essential to understand the earlies…
Little Red Dots and their Progenitors from Direct Collapse Black Holes
Junehyoung Jeon, Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm +7
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered a new population of objects, the Little Red Dots (LRDs), characterized by V-shaped spectra indicative of strong breaks around t…
A Novel Formation Channel for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in the Early Universe via Primordial Black Holes
Saiyang Zhang, Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm
We present a novel formation channel for supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in the early Universe, driven by primordial black holes (PBHs). Using high-resolution hydrodynamica…
A direct black hole mass measurement in a Little Red Dot at the Epoch of Reionization
Ignas Juodžbalis, Cosimo Marconcini, Francesco D'Eugenio +37
Recent discoveries of faint active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the redshift frontier have revealed a plethora of broad \Halpha emitters with optically red continua, named Little Red D…
Effects of chemically homogeneous evolution of the first stars on the 21-cm signal and reionization
Boyuan Liu, Daniel Kessler, Thomas Gessey-Jones +6
The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), played a crucial role in the early Universe through their unique formation environment and metal-free composition.…
