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.

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).

Literature

Published objects within 1″ of this position. A match is a positional recovery, not an adopted classification.

  • No published JWST little red dot or broad-line AGN within 1″.

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.
