These are the 31 public journey examples, not a candidate catalog or a release of the search pipeline. Display images are processed WebP files, not calibrated FITS measurements. Selection is not confirmation.
Open this file locally after extracting the ZIP. Each final view uses original pixel sampling. Infrared bands are mapped to visible display colors; these are not the colors an eye would see. Individual filter images use their own display stretches, so compare measured fluxes in the original data, not screen brightness. Empty coverage is not evidence of an empty sky.
A published little red dot whose spectrum motivates a black hole inside a dense, glowing atmosphere. It anchors the comparison with the ongoing search.
Spectroscopic redshift 7.7569. We see its light from when the universe was 664 million years old.

RXCJ2211-0350 · 2281
Pipeline candidate · needs confirmation
A candidate selected from the infrared images of this cluster field. Selection and a repeat detection support follow-up, not a physical identification.
The adopted color-based fit is near redshift 5.62. That distance estimate has no spectroscopic confirmation in this snapshot.
F115W · 1.15 μmF277W · 2.77 μmF444W · 4.44 μm
No match within one arcsecond in the published LRD catalogs used for this snapshot. That does not establish a new discovery or a confirmed black hole.
The source passes the pipeline’s split-exposure check. Repeat detection supports follow-up but does not confirm distance or physical identity.
The composite combines filters with different point-spread functions. Colored rims and apparent size are not resolved structure inside the source.
A selected candidate in the MS0451-0305 field, supported by independent exposure subsets. Its color-based distance still needs a spectral test.
The adopted color-based fit is near redshift 6.77. That distance estimate has no spectroscopic confirmation in this snapshot.
F115W · 1.15 μmF277W · 2.77 μmF444W · 4.44 μm
No match within one arcsecond in the published LRD catalogs used for this snapshot. That does not establish a new discovery or a confirmed black hole.
The source passes the pipeline’s split-exposure check. Repeat detection supports follow-up but does not confirm distance or physical identity.
At the adopted redshift, hydrogen and oxygen emission lines may contribute to the strong filter contrast. Color alone does not measure a clean continuum break.
The composite combines filters with different point-spread functions. Colored rims and apparent size are not resolved structure inside the source.

POPPIES 06 · 2527
Pipeline candidate · needs confirmation
A selected source in the POPPIES 06 images. Its high fitted redshift and incomplete split-exposure evidence make the remaining uncertainty especially important.
The adopted color-based fit is near redshift 8.87. That distance estimate has no spectroscopic confirmation in this snapshot.
F115W · 1.15 μmF277W · 2.77 μmF444W · 4.44 μm
No match within one arcsecond in the published LRD catalogs used for this snapshot. That does not establish a new discovery or a confirmed black hole.
A split-exposure check was unavailable for this source. Its candidate status is provisional.
At the adopted redshift, hydrogen and oxygen emission lines may contribute to the strong filter contrast. Color alone does not measure a clean continuum break.
The composite combines filters with different point-spread functions. Colored rims and apparent size are not resolved structure inside the source.
