Wandering Black Hole Candidates in Dwarf Galaxies at VLBI Resolution
Andrew J. Sargent, Megan C. Johnson, Amy E. Reines +5
Thirteen dwarf galaxies have recently been found to host radio-selected accreting massive black hole (MBH) candidates, some of which are ``wandering" in the outskirts of their host…
The Environments of CO Cores and Star Formation in the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy WLM
Haylee N. Archer, Deidre A. Hunter, Bruce G. Elmegreen +5
The low metallicities of dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrr) greatly influence the formation and structure of molecular clouds. These clouds, which consist primarily of H, are typi…
