CAPERS-LRD-z9: A Gas Enshrouded Little Red Dot Hosting a Broad-line AGN at z=9.288

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Anthony J. Taylor, Vasily Kokorev, Dale D. Kocevski, Hollis B. Akins, Fergus Cullen | Summary: We present CAPERS-LRD-z9, a little red dot (LRD) which we confirm to be a $z=9.288$ broad-line AGN (BLAGN). First identified as a high-redshift LRD candidate from PRIMER NIRCam photometry, follow-up NIRSpec/PRISM spectroscopy […]

MAMMOTH-MOSFIRE: Environmental Effects on Galaxy Interstellar Medium at $zsim2$

Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Hang Zhou, Xin Wang, Matthew A. Malkan, Tommaso Treu, Yiming Yang | Summary: The MAMMOTH-MOSFIRE program is a deep Keck MOSFIRE K-band spectroscopic follow-up of emission-line galaxies identified in the MAMMOTH-Grism HST WFC3/G141 slitless spectroscopic survey, targeting the core regions of three most massive galaxy protoclusters at […]

The eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS): SDSS spectroscopic observations of X-ray sources

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Catarina Aydar, Andrea Merloni, Tom Dwelly, Johan Comparat, Mara Salvato | Summary: We present one of the largest uniform optical spectroscopic surveys of X-ray selected sources to date that were observed as a pilot study for the Black Hole Mapper (BHM) survey. The BHM program of the […]

Evidence of a fraction of LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA events coming from active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Liang-Gui Zhu, Xian Chen, , , | Summary: The formation channels of the gravitational-wave (GW) sources detected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK) remain poorly constrained. Active galactic nucleus (AGN) has been proposed as one of the potential hosts but the fraction of GW events originating from AGNs has not […]

The Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: First Detection of Mid-Infrared Lags in Prototypical IMBHs in NGC 4395 and POX 52

Kavli Affiliate: Xuebing Wu | First 5 Authors: Jingbo Sun, Jingbo Sun, , , | Summary: The search for robust evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is crucial for understanding black hole seeding process and the formation of supermassive black holes in the early Universe. NGC 4395 and POX 52 are two prototypical IMBH hosts, […]
