Cosmic Outliers: Low-spin Halos Explain the Abundance, Compactness, and Redshift Evolution of the Little Red Dots
The little red dots (LRDs) are high-redshift galaxies uncovered by JWST, characterized by small effective radii ( R _eff ∼ 80–300 pc), number densities intermediate between typical galaxies and quasars, and a redshift distribution peaked at z ∼ 5. We present a theoretical model in which the LRDs d...
