Calcium Triplet Absorption is Common around Little Red Dots
Jenny E. Greene, Hanpu Liu, Raphael E. Hviding +29
We present new evidence for an optically thick atmosphere surrounding Little Red Dots (LRDs) in the form of Ca absorption at rest-frame 8500A, the calcium triplet (CaT). Building o…
Balmer Absorption Series and Broad Metal Lines in Two Luminous Little Red Dots
Bingjie Wang, Jenny E. Greene, Hanpu Liu +21
Balmer absorption is common among little red dots (LRDs), but absorbers at or redward of systemic are rare, occurring in only \% of H absorbers. In this paper, we stu…
Overmassive No More: The Case for Little Red Dots Hosting Black Hole Seeds as Massive as Single Supermassive Stars
Wendy Q. Sun, Rohan P. Naidu, Hanpu Liu +17
Little Red Dots (LRDs) display singular properties unlike any known class of AGN or galaxies, motivating novel mass estimators for their central engines. Inspired by their similari…
A Spectral Framework for Testing the Quasi-Star Hypothesis in Little Red Dots I: Weighing LRDs by Their Super-Eddington Luminosity Ratios---No Signs of Overmassive Black Holes
Olivia Curtis, Nikko J. Cleri, Jakob M. Helton +2
We present a spectral test of the quasi-star hypothesis for Little Red Dots (LRDs) whereby a black hole grows inside a stellar-like envelope. We use \texttt{Prospector} to fit host…
Caught Napping by JWST UNCOVER+MegaScience: Constraining bursty star formation histories and number densities of mini-quenched galaxies at redshifts 4-7
Gourav Khullar, Rachel Bezanson, Katherine A. Suess +27
We explore the prevalence of mini-quenched or ``napping'' galaxies selected from spectroscopic and photometric samples in the UNCOVER/MegaScience survey. These galaxies are empiric…
The Ĝ Infrared Search for Extraterrestrial Civilizations with Large Energy Supplies. V. When Galaxies Glow with Industry
Olivia Curtis, Aidan J. Rowland, Jason T. Wright +3
We present the most robust stellar population synthesis (SPS)-based search for galaxy-spanning technological waste heat to date, applied to 129 nearby galaxies spanning a wide rang…
