Images and spectra obtained with the NIRCam instrument on JWST revealed BiRD as an unusual bright point not present in previous X-ray and radio catalogs.
The research team found strong analogies between BiRD and the other two known LRDs in spectral properties, including line width, absorption, central black hole mass, and gas density.
The central black hole of BiRD is estimated to have a mass of approximately 100 million times that of the Sun based on spectral analysis.
