…different positions of emission lines in the photometric bands. Recent observations by the JWST have revealed a population of small red galaxies known as little red dots (LRD) that exist between 600 million years and 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang . It is thought that these objects have AGN within them caused by…

RUBIES footprint of 18 NIRSpec/MSA pointings in the UDS and EGS fields. Purple pointings correspond to the first half of observations in January to March 2024. Background images show the NIRCam F444W image mosaics, primarily constructed from public imaging of the CEERS and PRIMER surveys. The outline of the PRIMER MIRI imaging footprint for the UDS is shown in pink.
