3.2″ across, north up, east left, resampled from the deepest mosaic covering the object in each band; ticks mark the catalogue position. Each band is stretched on its own noise; the composite shares one flux scale, so its colour is real. No coverage in F090W, F277W.

Redshifts

Each redshift keeps its own column. Photometric redshifts of little red dots are unreliable: against spectra, about a third of AGN-template redshifts (z_agn; 31 of 95 in the last purity run) and about half of galaxy-template redshifts at z > 3 were catastrophic outliers (methods Section 8).

Photometry

Circular aperture of radius 0.16″ at each band's native resolution, background from a 0.40–0.65″ annulus, programmes combined by inverse variance. For a point source multiply by the field's aperture correction (r = 0.16″ → 0.70″). Grey rows are below S/N 2.
