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…

Implications of Broad [O III] 4364 and UV Line Emission in Two Little Red Dots at z ~ 7 - 8

Casey Papovich, Kaila Ronayne, Weida Hu +17

We present deep, NIRSpec G140M and G395M spectroscopy of Little Red Dots (LRDs) at z = 6.68 and z = 8.35. Both LRDs show broad Balmer and [O III] 4364 emission. The broad [O III…

Deep Spectroscopic Follow-Up of Maisie's Galaxy -- A Typical Galaxy in the Early Universe

Rebecca L. Larson, Taylor A. Hutchison, Steven L. Finkelstein +26

The first several years of JWST observations have yielded surprisingly large numbers of bright galaxies, with follow-up spectroscopy of many of these sources implying extrem…

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…

Massive Galaxies Form Early and Gray: Stellar Assembly and Dust Attenuation at from CAPERS

Katherine Chworowsky, Steven L. Finkelstein, Anthony J. Taylor +27

The stellar mass assembly of massive galaxies in the first few billion years of cosmic history remains a central challenge in galaxy formation. Galaxies with $M_\star \gtrsim 10^{1…

Using Ly Transmitted Spectrum to Probe IGM Transmission and Identify Ionized Structures in Cosmic Reionization

Weida Hu, Casey Papovich, Lu Shen +16

We present a study of intergalactic medium (IGM) transmission at using high-signal-to-noise JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopy of 143 galaxies at from the CAPE…
