Little Red Dots: Could JWST Nurseries Forge Direct Collapse
What are the Little Red Dots? The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has spotted a set of luminous, compact objects nicknamed the Little Red Dots (LRDs). They appear unusually red in JWST’s infrared images, and their faint, compact signatures have sparked questions about their nature. Some researchers speculate that they could be star-forming regions in…

Are JWST’s Little Red Dots Nurseries for Direct-Collapse Black Holes?
Understanding the Little Red Dots The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed a set of enigmatic, compact infrared sources nicknamed the “Little Red Dots”. Detected as unusually red, faint, and compact objects in deep-field observations, these sources have sparked debate among astronomers. A leading hypothesis is that some of these dots could be the…
