Islands of Electromagnetic Tranquility in Our Galactic Core and Little Red Dots that Shelter Molecules and Prebiotic Chemistry
Abstract
Abstract Both the Galactic center and little red dots (LRDs) host million-solar-mass black holes within dense, cold reservoirs of molecules associated with dust grains, and are electromagnetically tranquil. These conditions enable complex molecular chemistry and may serve as natural laboratories for prebiotic genetic evolution by allowing the synthesis of organic molecules essential for life.
