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.

LRDs require Compton-thick gas at moderate metallicity plus high accretion rates producing weak X-rays to explain their non-detection, implying they are not chemically pristine.
A z=1.715 radio-loud quasar exhibits a ~10,000 K blackbody UV continuum and three-component blackbody photometry, marking it as a candidate transitional Little Red Dot.
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.

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.
