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…
The Lifetimes of High-redshift Quasars Suggest Magnetic Disk Support
Jarrett Johnson, Phoebe Upton Sanderbeck, Nicole Lloyd-Ronning +2
It has recently been suggested that a variety of data on active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be explained if AGN disks are supported against gravitational fragmentation by magnetic fi…
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…
The quasi-star model for Little Red Dots: potential and challenges
Fabrizio Gentile, Mauro Giavalisco, Emanuele Daddi +25
(Abridged) Little Red Dots (LRDs) are a class of sources discovered by JWST observationally defined by a "V-shaped" rest-frame UV-Optical SED, a compact or unresolved morphology, a…
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…
THRILS -- The High-(Redshift+Ionization) Line Search: Program Description & Redshift Catalog
Taylor A. Hutchison, Rebecca L. Larson, Pablo Arrabal Haro +46
To date, many spectroscopic confirmations of z>7 galaxies have been obtained using JWST/NIRSpec prism observations, with most of their physical properties inferred from these obser…
