Science with an ngVLA: Accreting Supermassive Black Holes in Nearby Low-mass Galaxies

Kristina Nyland, Katherine Alatalo

Published 2018-10-15Version 1

The ngVLA will facilitate deep surveys capable of detecting the faint and compact signatures of accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses below one million solar-masses hosted by low-mass ($< 10^9$ solar-masses) galaxies. This will provide important new insights on both the origins of supermassive black holes and the possible impact of active galactic nucleus-driven feedback in a currently unexplored mass regime.

Comments: To be published in the ASP Monograph Series, "Science with a Next-Generation VLA", ed. E. J. Murphy (ASP, San Francisco, CA)
