Analysis of Multi-epoch JWST Images of ∼300 Little Red Dots: Tentative Detection of Variability in a Minority of Sources

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed a population of red and compact sources at z  ≳ 5 known as “little red dots” (LRDs) that are likely active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Here, we present a comprehensive study of the variability of 314 LRDs with multi-epoch JWST observations in five deep...
