The survey identifies 27 low-redshift LRDs with compact morphology, V-shaped continua, broad Balmer lines with extreme decrements, and ubiquitous outflows, matching high-z counterparts and yielding a number density lower limit of 7.5e-10 cMpc^-3.

Eight low-redshift Little Red Dots identified in DESI DR1 exhibit broad Balmer lines, steep decrements, compact shapes, and negligible variability, with a number density roughly 10,000 times lower than at z>4.
Local compact AGN-hosting dwarf galaxies with V-shaped SEDs are more evolved than high-redshift Little Red Dots, indicating distinct formation pathways.
Non-LTE wind atmosphere models computed with CMFGEN reproduce the SED and Balmer decrement of most Little Red Dots when dust-attenuated with Av ~2, while predicting Fe II, O I, and Ca lines, but struggle to produce both a genuine Balmer break and strong lines simultaneously.

Non-LTE atmosphere models of very luminous sources and their applicability to Little Red Dots, quasi-stars, and similar objects
Non-LTE wind atmosphere models computed with CMFGEN reproduce the SED and Balmer decrement of most Little Red Dots when dust-attenuated with Av ~2, while predicting Fe II, O I, and Ca lines, but struggle to produce both a genuine Balmer break and strong lines simultaneously.
