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…
The MIRI Early Obscured-AGN Wide Survey (MEOW): A Population of Hidden AGN at Revealed by JWST/MIRI Imaging
Gene C. K. Leung, Anna-Christina Eilers, Ryan Endsley +25
We present the MIRI Early Obscured-AGN Wide Survey (MEOW), a JWST/MIRI imaging survey designed to detect dust-obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) across cosmic time, with a parti…
Hunting Wandering 3<z<8 Black Holes: Spatial Offsets in Ionization Ratio and Continuum Emission
Urvi Thakurdesai, Anthony J. Taylor, Steven L. Finkelstein +14
The early growth and assembly of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) remain key topics of interest in galaxy evolution. One of the scenarios predicted by theoretical models is that fr…
MEGA and SMILES Find Fewer Dusty Galaxies than Expected at Cosmic Noon
Bren E. Backhaus, Allison Kirkpatrick, Kurt Hamblin +10
We present infrared (IR) luminsosity functions (LFs) and resulting star formation rate densities using the JWST Mid-infrared Instrument (MIRI) observations from the MIRI EGS Galaxy…
