Lonely Little Red Dots: Challenges to the Active Galactic Nucleus Nature of Little Red Dots through Their Clustering and Spectral Energy Distributions

Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope reveal a previously unseen population of compact red objects, known as “little red dots” (LRDs). We study a new photometrically selected sample of 124 LRDs in the redshift range z ∼ 3–10 selected from Near Infrared Camera coverage of the Cosmic Evolut...
