The discovery of the "little red dots" (LRDs) with the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a host of surprises about this mysterious class of high-redshift objects. Their physical nature remains hotly contested. I will argue that LRDs trace the initial phase of supermassive black holes that predates the formation of their host galaxies. As such, they offer a uniquely valuable laboratory to ...

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are intense repeating soft X-ray bursts with recurrence times about a few hours to a few weeks from galactic nuclei. More and more observations show that QPEs are associated with tidal disruption events (TDEs), especially TDEs in recently faded active galactic nucleis (AGNs). The intriguing timing pattern of QPEs indicates that (at least a fraction of) QPEs are t...
During the 14 billion year journey from the last scattering surface to the Earth, cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons were deflected (CMB lensing), stretched (the ISW effect) and scattered (the Sunyaev Zel’dovich effect and patchy screening). The induced secondary CMB anisotropies contain invaluable information on missing baryons, dark matter, dark energy, gravity, and the origin mechani...
Observations over the past decade have revealed that galaxies lose many of the metals they produce to the circumgalactic medium, and that the metals they retain are arranged in complex patterns that go beyond simple radial gradients. Theoretical models for how metals move through and out of the interstellar medium to produce these distributions are still in their infancy. In this talk, I discus...
