Title: How "Little Red Dots" Broke the Universe (and how we're unbreaking it)

Abstract: One of the biggest mysteries of the early era of JWST's operation has been "Little Red Dots," compact sources with strange V shaped spectral energy distributions and broad emission lines. These sources have been incredibly hard to model, and over the course of three years, leading theories have ranged from over-massive galaxies that assembled Milky Way levels of stellar mass in the first Gyr of cosmic time to over-massive active galactic nuclei that defy models of black hole assembly. I will walk through the brief history of discover in this sources, demonstrating how we have slowly been getting closer and closer to understanding them by leveraging JWST, ALMA, and several other observatories to constrain their panchromatic spectral energy distribution. I will discuss our current best understanding of these sources, and how we might move forward to incorporate them into our picture of galaxy and black hole assembly.

THE GALEX EXTRAGALACTIC SPECTRA DATA BASE

We have matched objects in the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) spectroscopic fields with publicly available ultraviolet, optical, and infrared surveys, to construct a photometric and spectroscopic catalog for non-stellar objects with GALEX spectroscopic counterparts. Of the total sample of GALEX spectra recorded in the database, approximately 20\% are determined to reliably correspond to non-stellar objects. These objects have been cross-matched with SDSS, WISE, and 2MASS photometric and spectroscopic survey catalogs, and VISTA and UKIRT near-IR catalogs where available, to construct spectral energy distributions (SED's) from the GALEX-FUV to WISE-w4 magnitudes for all non-stellar objects within the fields. Analysis of 209 fields with at least one object matched in SDSS give a total of 12,020 extragalactic objects, comprising 1974 known QSOs and AGNs, 2274 star-forming galaxies, 6327 quiescent spiral galaxies, and 386 elliptical galaxies.
