Ripples in the OCEANS: Broad Line Variability of Little Red Dots
Madisyn Brooks, Kelcey Davis, Jonathan R. Trump +16
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are a unique class of compact, red sources discovered in the JWST extragalactic deep fields. Determining if they are indeed powered by accreting supermassive…
Little Red Dots on FIRE: Exploring the formation and observational signatures of ultra-compact early galaxies
Niranjan Chandra Roy, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Rachel K. Cochrane +15
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact sources with broad Balmer lines, Balmer breaks, anomalous UV emission, rising red continuum, and uncertain origin. We use FIRE cosmological simul…
OCEANS of Absorption: High-resolution NIRSpec Spectroscopy Reveals Diverse Balmer-line Absorption in Little Red Dots
Kelcey Davis, Madisyn Brooks, Raymond C. Simons +24
The ``Little Red Dots' (LRDs) that appeared in JWST deep field images have been the subject of significant study since their discovery. In this work, we present high-resolution fol…
A Rapid Evolution in the Observed Mbh/M* Relation at z > 3 Revealed via Spectro-photometric SED-Modeling
Ansh R. Gupta, Anthony Taylor, Emma Curtis-Lake +33
Spectroscopic observations from JWST have uncovered a plethora of active galactic nuclei (AGN) at z > 4 with black hole (BH) mass (Mbh) to stellar mass (M*) ratios significantly ab…
Extreme Emission Line Galaxies in CEERS Are Powered by Star Formation, not AGN
Kelcey Davis, Madisyn Brooks, Jonathan R. Trump +28
We present a spectroscopic study of photometrically identified extreme emission-line galaxies (EELGs) with observed-frame equivalent widths (EWs) >5000 A of either H alpha or H bet…
From "The Cliff" to "Virgil": Mapping the Spectral Diversity of Little Red Dots with JWST/NIRSpec
Guillermo Barro, Pablo G. Perez-Gonzalez, Dale Kocevski +26
One of JWST's most unexpected discoveries is the emergence of "Little Red Dots'' (LRDs): compact sources at with blue rest-frame UV continua, red optical slopes, and…
