Mysterious ‘little red dot’ galaxies have a possible origin story
SMRTR summary
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered tiny, red galaxies from the early universe. These "little red dots" likely formed with minimal spin, explaining their compact size. Researchers propose they originated from dark matter halos with the lowest 1% of spin speeds, causing gas to shrink further before stabilizing. This theory could help explain galaxy evolution and predict where more little red dots might be found.
