Abstract
In recent years the James Web Space Telescope (JWST) revealed an intriguing population of compact objects with a characteristic red slope in the rest-frame optical and blue rest-frame UV continuum, additionally a unique “v-shaped” spectral energy density. These objects are called Little Red Dots (LRDs). Although these objects can be easily obtained from photometric observations and extracted from their peculiar morphology of their Spectral Energy Density, the uncertainties about their nature are enormous. In this work, we perform a statistical analysis of the EUCLID collaboration results for the quest of Little Red Dots to propose a possible correlation function. Additionally, a comparison of our results giving the EUCLID observations with other catalogs generated by numerical cosmological simulations is performed. We highlight the importance of statistical analysis since the correlations of these objects give us a hint of their possible clustering properties as well as the nature of their environment, specially it can give us a hint of how the dynamics of the universe at young epochs.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
