Unveil the nature of JWST-AGN and Little Red Dots with SKAO continuum surveys

Giovanni Mazzolari, Dharam V. Lal, Isabella Prandoni +6

The advent of JWST has revealed a large population of AGN at , which are dex more abundant than previously expected, including also the enigmatic population of Little…

No evolution in the number density of little red dots from cosmic dawn to cosmic noon

Federica Loiacono, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +24

We present our search for little red dots (LRDs) in the "J1030 field", a region of the sky around the quasar SDSS J1030+0524, observed by the JWST EIGER program. Over 1…

Radio selection of heavily obscured AGN in the J1030 field: unraveling a missing Compton-thick population

Giovanni Mazzolari, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +21

We tested the effectiveness of radio selection to discover heavily obscured AGNs, particularly at high-z, and we measured their abundance for the first time from a radio perspectiv…

Tracing AGN-Galaxy Co-Evolution with UV Line-Selected Obscured AGN

Luigi Barchiesi, Lucia Marchetti, Mattia Vaccari +11

Understanding black hole-galaxy co-evolution and the role of AGN feedback requires complete AGN samples, including heavily obscured systems. In this work, we present the first UV l…

A big red dot at cosmic noon

Federica Loiacono, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +22

We report the discovery of a little red dot (LRD), dubbed BiRD ('big red dot'), at in the field around the quasar SDSSJ1030+0524. Using NIRCam images, we identifie…

Intervening nuclear obscuration changing the X-ray look of the QSO CFHQS J164121+375520

Fabio Vito, William Nielsen Brandt, Andrea Comastri +16

X-ray observations of the optically selected QSO CFHQS J164121+375520 (hereafter J1641) revealed that its flux dropped by a factor from 2018, when it was a bri…
