  bibo_abstract:
  - New populations of red active galactic nuclei (known as “little red dots”) discovered
    by JWST exhibit remarkable spectral energy distributions. Leveraging X-ray through
    far-infrared observations of two of the most luminous known little red dots, we
    directly measure their bolometric luminosities. We find evidence that more than
    half of the bolometric luminosity likely emerges in the rest-frame optical, with
    Lbol/L5100 = 5, roughly half the value for “standard” active galactic nuclei.
    Meanwhile, the X-ray emitting corona, UV-emitting blackbody, and reprocessed mid
    to far-infrared emission are all considerably subdominant, assuming that the far-infrared
    luminosity is well below current measured limits. We present new bolometric corrections
    that dramatically lower inferred bolometric luminosities by a factor of 10 compared
    to published values in the literature. These bolometric corrections are in accord
    with expectations from models in which gas absorption and reprocessing are responsible
    for the red rest-frame optical colors of little red dots. We discuss how this
    lowered luminosity scale suggests a lower mass scale for the population by at
    least an order of magnitude (e.g., ∼105–107 M⊙ black holes, and ∼108 M⊙ galaxies),
    alleviating tensions with clustering, overmassive black holes, and the integrated
    black hole mass density in the Universe.@eng
