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…

Beyond the Dot: an LRD-like nucleus at the Heart of an IR-Bright Galaxy and its implications for high-redshift LRDs

Pierluigi Rinaldi, George H. Rieke, Zihao Wu +23

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact, red sources discovered by JWST at high redshift (), marked by distinctive 'V-shaped' spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and often…

Through the Veil: Ly Illuminates the Host Galaxies of Little Red Dots

Zhiyuan Ji, Yang Sun, Mauro Giavalisco +5

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are enigmatic, compact red sources ubiquitous in JWST deep fields whose physical nature remains elusive. As one of the most sensitive tracers of neutral hydr…

A Potential Link between Nuclear Winds and Cold Gas Outflows on Kiloparsec Scales in Reionization-Era Quasars

Yongda Zhu, Marcia J. Rieke, Luis C. Ho +23

Feedback from accreting supermassive black holes may regulate galaxy evolution, but statistical evidence linking nuclear winds to kiloparsec-scale cold gas outflows remains limited…

Quasar Radiative Feedback May Suppress Galaxy Growth on Intergalactic Scales at

Yongda Zhu, Eiichi Egami, Xiaohui Fan +27

We present observational evidence that intense ionizing radiation from a luminous quasar suppresses nebular emission in nearby galaxies on intergalactic scales at . Using JW…
