Lyα observations of Little Red Dots show luminosities and equivalent widths like normal star-forming galaxies but lower Lyα/Hα ratios and extended asymmetric emission, supporting a two-component model with host-scale gas.

Confirmation of 77 new heavily reddened quasars at 1.5 < z < 3.9 with high luminosities and extinctions, showing they are deficient in hot and warm dust relative to blue quasars and supporting a blow-out feedback phase.
X-ray non-detection of little red dots requires both Compton-thick gas columns (~1e25 cm^-2) and intrinsically weak X-ray emission with bolometric correction k_bol,X ≳ 30.
A sample of 36 spectroscopically confirmed LRDs shows broad-line detections in >90%, spectral variety including Balmer breaks and blackbody fits, H-alpha to 5100A continuum correlation, no redshift evolution, declining space density toward z~2 opposite normal AGNs, and clustering in ~10^11 solar mas
A bias-controlled quasar sample of ~2000 objects demonstrates that the X-ray-to-UV luminosity relation remains constant from redshift 0.7 to 5.
High-resolution simulations produce compact galaxies where gas inflows and dynamical processes accumulate enough mass in 10 Myr to form ~10^6 solar mass central black holes under 10% feedback efficiency.
