JWST Reveals Compact Nuclear Starbursts Masquerading as AGNs in Metal-Poor Dwarfs: Where Are the Accreting Intermediate-Mass Black Holes?

William Matzko, Shobita Satyapal, Jeffrey D. Mckaig +19

We present JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of the low-mass, metal-poor galaxy SDSS~J160135.95+311353.7 (J1601), selected for its extreme mid-infrared colors and compact nuclear emission,…

The Hunt for Red Dual AGNs I: Spatially-Resolved Mid-IR Dual AGNs in the DeCam Legacy Survey

Ryan W. Pfeifle, Kimberly A. Weaver, Barry Rothberg +13

Theoretical studies predict that dual AGNs are a critical stage of galaxy merger-driven supermassive black hole growth. Systematic searches for dual AGNs typically target late-stag…

The GlimmIr: Spectroscopic Variability in a z~7 LRD Indicates Rapid Changes in Both the Narrow and Broad Line Regions

Erini Lambrides, Taylor A. Hutchison, Rebecca L. Larson +39

The enigmatic population of ``Little Red Dots'' (LRDs) sit at the center of some of the largest debates in extragalactic astronomy today. The source(s) of ionizing emission and the…

AGN versus Star-formation: A MUSE Analysis of NGC 1365

Kyla Mullaney, Kelly E. Whalen, Jenna Cann +3

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star formation feedback may heat and remove gas from galaxies in a process that quenches ongoing star formation and shapes the evolution of galaxie…

Discovery of Multiply Ionized Iron Emission Powered by an Active Galactic Nucleus in a z~7 Little Red Dot

Erini Lambrides, Rebecca Larson, Taylor Hutchison +50

Some of the most puzzling discoveries of NASA's JWST in the early Universe surround the surprising abundance of compact red sources, which show peculiar continuum shapes and broad…

A High Resolution Search for Dual AGN Candidates in Mergers: A Pre-Selection Strategy using Keck AO

Camilo Vazquez, S. Satyapal, G. Canalizo +20

Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxy mergers with separations 1 kpc are crucial to our understanding of SMBH growth, galaxy evolution, and SMBH binary evolution…
