Low-mass Galaxy Interactions Trigger Black Hole Activity

Journal article Astrophysical Journal Letters · June 1, 2024 The existence of high-z overmassive supermassive black holes represents a major conundrum in our understanding of black hole evolution. In this Letter, we probe from the observational point of view how early Universe environmental conditions could have act ... Full text Cite

Two Candidates for Dual AGN in Dwarf-dwarf Galaxy Mergers

Journal article Astrophysical Journal · February 1, 2023 Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) are important for understanding galaxy-merger-triggered fueling of black holes and the hierarchical growth of structures. The least explored type of DAGN are those associated with mergers of two dwarf galaxies. According ... Full text Cite
