SPURS: Evidence for Clumpy Neutral Envelopes and Ionized IGM Surrounding Little Red Dots in Abell 2744 from Ultra-Deep Rest-UV Spectroscopy

Mengtao Tang, Daniel P. Stark, Charlotte A. Mason +14

Rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) spectra of Little Red Dots (LRDs) often show Ly emission. Along with broad Balmer emission, LRDs are expected to produce broad Ly emission. Howe…

The MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF) VIII. The cool gas distribution surrounding galaxies at redshifts z ~ 0.5-2

Edoardo Santo, Michele Fumagalli, Seok-Jun Chang +5

We use deep MUSE data from the MUDF survey to investigate the cool gas around galaxies at redshifts 0.5 < z < 2. We constructed two samples: one sample for a down-the-barrel analys…

The Engine and its Flows: Little Red Dot spectra are shaped by the column densities of their gas envelopes

Jorryt Matthee, Alberto Torralba, Gabriele Pezzulli +23

JWST data have enabled the abundant identification of compact broad Balmer line sources nicknamed the Little Red Dots. While they share broad lines with active galactic nuclei, the…

ODIN: Searching for LyC emission from Lyman- emitters at in the E-COSMOS and XMM-LSS fields

Eunsuk Seo, Hyunmi Song, Lucia Guaita +18

We investigated Lyman-continuum (LyC) emission from Lyman- emitters (LAEs) at , identified in the One-hundred-deg DECam Imaging in Narrowbands (ODIN) survey. Of the…

Lyman- Escape through Anisotropic Media

Silvia Almada Monter, Max Gronke, Seok-Jun Chang

The escape of Lyman- (Ly) radiation encodes valuable information on the neutral interstellar medium and is often used as a proxy for the escape of ionizing photons. Yet, th…

The warm outer layer of a Little Red Dot as the source of [Fe II] and collisional Balmer lines with scattering wings

Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee, Gabriele Pezzulli +22

The population of the Little Red Dots (LRDs) may represent a key phase of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. A cocoon of dense excited gas is emerging as key component to expla…
