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…
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…
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…
NGDEEP: A New Non-Parametric Measure of Local Star-Formation and Attenuation at Cosmic Noon
Grace M. Forrey, Raymond C. Simons, Jonathan R. Trump +6
We introduce a new non-parametric technique to quantify the spatially-resolved relationship between the local star-formation rate (SFR) and dust attenuation. We then apply it to 14…
Beyond the Monsters: A More Complete Census of Black Hole Activity at Cosmic Dawn
Madisyn Brooks, Jonathan R. Trump, Raymond C. Simons +19
JWST has revealed an abundance of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN) at high redshifts (), pushing the limits of black hole (BH) science in the early Universe. Resu…
Optical Strong Line Ratios Cannot Distinguish Between Stellar Populations and Accreting Black Holes at High Ionization Parameters and Low Metallicities
Nikko J. Cleri, Grace M. Olivier, Bren E. Backhaus +24
High-redshift observations from JWST indicate that optical strong line ratios do not carry the same constraining power as they do at low redshifts. Critically, this prevents a sepa…
