Chandra Detects Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus with MBH = 104–106 M⊙ in Nearby (z < 0.5) Dwarf and Star-forming Galaxies

Chandra Detects Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus with MBH = 104–106 M⊙ in Nearby (z < 0.5) Dwarf and Star-forming Galaxies

We searched the Chandra and XMM archives for 900 Green Pea galaxies to identify signs of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Green peas are low-mass, emission-line galaxies that resemble high-redshift dwarf galaxies. From 29 observations, we detected X-rays in nine galaxies with signal-to-noise ratio >...
