The JWST Little Red Dots Could Be 'Black Hole Stars'
Reported by Universe Today
Zyx: This just in: Researchers suggest that the JWST's Little Red Dots could actually be black holes shrouded in dense gas.
Zyx: Universe Today notes that these objects, found between 600 million and 1.6 billion years after the Big Bang, include an object called MoM-BH*-1, which shows a deep Balmer break suggesting a gas-enshrouded black hole.
