TL;DR Summary

Analysis of extremely red objects (EROs) discovered in James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data reveals that they are similar to blue-excess dust obscured galaxies (BluDOGs) already reported in Subaru Telescope data. EROs and BluDOGs are likely the same class of objects, but with some important differences. Further research is needed to determine the true relationship between EROs, BluDOGs, and quasars. A larger sample of candidates will be studied using the next generation of astronomy instruments, including the planned infrared space telescope project GREX-PLUS.
