CAPERS-LRD-z9: A Gas-enshrouded Little Red Dot Hosting a Broad-line Active Galactic Nucleus at z = 9.288

We present CAPERS-LRD-z9, a little red dot (LRD) that we confirm to be a z = 9.288 broad-line active galactic nucleus (BLAGN). First identified as a high-redshift LRD candidate from PRIMER NIRCam photometry, follow-up NIRSpec/PRISM spectroscopy of CAPERS-L ...

The MBH-M∗ Relation up to z ∼ 2 through Decomposition of COSMOS-Web NIRCam Images

Michaela Hirschmann

Our knowledge of relations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies at z greater than or similar to 1 is still limited, even though being actively sought out to z similar to 6. Here, we use the high resolution and sensitivity of JWST to mea ...

Heavy neutron stars from light scalars

Stefan Stelzl

We study how light scalar fields can change the stellar landscape by triggering a new phase of nuclear matter. Scalars coupled to nucleons can develop a non-trivial expectation value at finite baryon density. This sourcing of a scalar reduces the nucleon m ...

The importance of nuclear star clusters for massive black hole growth and nuclear star formation in simulated low-mass galaxies

Michaela Hirschmann, Jonathan Erik Peter Petersson

Observed low-mass galaxies with nuclear star clusters (NSCs) can host accreting massive black holes (MBH). We present simulations of dwarf galaxies (M-baryon similar to 0.6-2.4x10(8)M(circle dot)) at solar mass resolution (0.5M(circle dot)
