To explore the identity and significance of little red dots (LRD) observed by JWST, focusing on their potential as supermassive black holes or star-forming regions.
Review of observational data from JWST on high-redshift objects
Analysis of sub-millimeter dust mass and constraints on radio and X-ray emissions
Examination of rest-frame ultraviolet and optical measurements
Identification of a new population of high-redshift objects characterized by red optical continuum
LRD proposed to be either active galactic nuclei or dense star-forming regions
Observations support the existence of overly massive supermassive black holes at high redshifts
