LRDs | Vasily Kokorev

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are the second (after UV bright galaxies at high-z) extragalactic puzzle handed to us after the launch of JWST. Owed to their unique spectral shape and unresolved nature in rest-frame optical, they are pretty easy to pick out in NIRCam images. This is, however, where the simplicity stops.

I am intrigued by this population and over the last few years some of my papers have focused on various aspects of LRDs — from extreme black hole masses and their abundance, to the emergence and interpretation of the dense gas cocoon scenario. What they truly are remains an open question, and I suspect the answer will surprise us, making it all more exciting.

Below are some of my papers on the subject.

Caption photos easily. On the left, a road goes through a tunnel. Middle, leaves artistically fall in a hipster photoshoot. Right, in another hipster photoshoot, a lumberjack grasps a handful of pine needles.

This image can also have a caption. It's like magic.

You can also put regular text between your rows of images. Say you wanted to write a little bit about your project before you posted the rest of the images. You describe how you toiled, sweated, bled for your project, and then… you reveal its glory in the next row of images.

You can also have artistically styled 2/3 + 1/3 images, like these.

The code is simple. Just wrap your images with <div class="col-sm"> and place them inside <div class="row"> (read more about the Bootstrap Grid system). To make images responsive, add img-fluid class to each; for rounded corners and shadows use rounded and z-depth-1 classes. Here’s the code for the last row of images above:

<div class="row justify-content-sm-center">
  <div class="col-sm-8 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/6.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
  <div class="col-sm-4 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/11.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
</div>
