🔭 Are 'Little Red Dots' black hole stars?

A study analyzed spectral signatures of over 300 distant objects showing powerful infrared light but almost no X-rays. Researchers found this anomaly in objects like 3DHST-AEGIS-12014, existing around 12 billion years ago. Dense hydrogen gas shrouds are trapping high-energy radiation, causing it to glow brightly in the infrared. This suggests these objects might be 'black hole stars,' a transitional phase in early cosmic growth. Future JWST data is needed to confirm if gravity comes from a central black hole or a star cluster.
