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…
How to raise a supermassive black hole: interpreting early JWST AGN with the AESOPICA simulations
Sophie Koudmani, Jan Scholtz, Anthony J. Taylor +11
The paper uses the AESOPICA suite of cosmological simulations, varying black hole seed masses and accretion physics, to interpret the abundance and apparent overmassiveness of earl…
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…
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…
Other red dots: A possible GLIMPSE of normal AGB stars at Cosmic Noon through extreme lensing
Lukas J. Furtak, Adi Zitrin, Erik Zackrisson +18
We report the discovery of four extremely faint () red point sources in recent ultra-deep JWST/NIRCam images of the strong lensing galaxy cluster Abell…
