Here There Be (Dusty) Monsters: High-redshift Active Galactic Nuclei Are Dustier than Their Hosts

Here There Be (Dusty) Monsters: High-redshift Active Galactic Nuclei Are Dustier than Their Hosts

JWST spectroscopy has discovered a population of z  ≳ 3.5 galaxies with broad Balmer emission lines and narrow forbidden lines that are consistent with hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN). Many of these systems, now known as “little red dots,” are compact and have unique colors that are very red in...
