Misaligned or chaotic? A strong break of axial symmetry in the local LRD J1025 revealed with VLT/FORS2 spectropolarimetry

Francesco D'Eugenio, Gabriele Pezzulli, Roberto Maiolino +18

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact active galactic nuclei (AGN) with unusual spectral energy distributions and broad Balmer emission, candidate signposts of rapid black-hole growth…

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…

A quasar hatching from a buried red phase at z = 3.7

Zheng Ma, Yongda Zhu, Zhiyuan Ji +21

We present JADES-GS 209777, previously cataloged as CANDELS J033238.02-274626.2, hereafter "the Hatchling," a red quasar at . While the source has been reported in earlier…

An (in)complete NIRSpec census of Balmer absorption in Type 1 AGN -- radiation-driven outflows in little red dots, quasars and variable stars

Ignas Juodžbalis, Xihan Ji, Francesco D'Eugenio +17

A notable achievement of the first generation of JWST surveys was the discovery of an abundance of faint high-redshift () broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the $L_{…

A black hole in a near-pristine galaxy 700 million years after the Big Bang

Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Uebler, Francesco D'Eugenio +36

The recent discovery of a large number of massive black holes within the first two billion years after the Big Bang, as well as their peculiar properties, have been largely unexpec…

The Cliff: A Metal-Poor Little Red Dot Hosting an Overmassive Black Hole at

Lucy R. Ivey, Francesco D'Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino +19

JWST has revealed a large population of massive black holes (BHs) in the early Universe with unusual properties which mark them as distinct from low-redshift active galactic nuclei…
