Primordial Black-Hole-Based Pathways to Little Red Dots
Valerio De Luca, Loris Del Grosso, Gabriele Franciolini +4
The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered a population of compact, high-redshift sources, the Little Red Dots (LRDs), which may host supermassive black holes (BHs) significantly…
From nuclear star clusters to Little Red Dots: black hole growth, mergers, and tidal disruptions
Konstantinos Kritos, Joseph Silk
Little Red Dots, discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope, are hypothesized to be active galactic nuclei containing a supermassive black hole, possibly surrounded by a dense st…
Beyond Extreme Burstiness: Evolving Star Formation Efficiency as the Key to Early Galaxy Abundance
Abhijnan Kar, Shadab Alam, Joseph Silk
JWST observations have revealed an overabundance of bright galaxies at , creating apparent tensions with theoretical predictions within standard CDM cosmology. We addr…
Black hole supercolliders
Andrew Mummery, Joseph Silk
We show that collisions between particles free falling from infinity and a disk of material plunging off the retrograde innermost stable circular orbit of a near-extremal Kerr blac…
