Uncovering Hidden Active Galactic Nuclei in Dwarf Galaxies
Detecting AGN in Dwarf Galaxies
Satellite Galaxies — Still All in a Row!
The satellites of galaxy Centaurus A seem to be in an unusual arrangement, which also has some fascinating cosmological implications!
A Recipe for Growing Black Holes in Small Galaxies
How common are growing black holes in small galaxies? Today’s paper presents a model to predict the fraction of dwarf galaxies with an active black hole at its center.
Missing dark matter in a nearby dwarf galaxy
A satellite of Andromeda is missing an important ingredient — so where did it go?
UR: Adding Low-Mass Galaxies to the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, Kaelee Parker’s looked at rotation curves of dwarf galaxies to test if the Tully-Fisher relation describes them.
