Spectral fitting of The Cliff LRD with Bagpipes yields a BH*-like solution with a low-mass metal-poor host, moderate dust, smooth star formation history, and high BH-to-stellar mass ratio.
Little red dots are the dust-reddened, high-inclination counterparts of little blue dots under a super-Eddington unification model, with luminosity-dependent fractions peaking near 20% and obscured systems showing systematically higher black hole masses due to selection.
Euclid identifies 16 massive compact galaxies with V-shaped SEDs at z>4, half as old as the universe at their redshift, mostly distinct from known AGN.
High-z LRDs and JWST AGN exhibit X-ray weakness consistent with local super-Eddington accreting SMBHs, supporting a link to highly accreting systems across cosmic time.

Little red dots as obscured little blue dots: relative abundances, luminosities, and black-hole masses
Little red dots are the dust-reddened, high-inclination counterparts of little blue dots under a super-Eddington unification model, with luminosity-dependent fractions peaking near 20% and obscured systems showing systematically higher black hole masses due to selection.

The X-ray weakness of Little Red Dots and JWST-selected AGN: comparison with local AGN in different accretion regimes
High-z LRDs and JWST AGN exhibit X-ray weakness consistent with local super-Eddington accreting SMBHs, supporting a link to highly accreting systems across cosmic time.
