Abstract

JWST observations have revealed a new class of fascinating objects known as the little red dots. The physical nature of the little red dots is very uncertain, but has important ramifications for the physics of active galactic nuclei, the formation mechanism of supermassive black holes, and the coevolution of black holes and galaxies. I will share some thoughts on this exciting, controversial topic.

 

Anyone interested is welcome to attend.
