MaNGA AGN dwarf galaxies (MAD). III. The role of mergers and environment in active galactic nucleus activity in dwarf galaxies
[Context] Investigating whether and how galaxy mergers affect black hole growth can be a determinant for black hole-galaxy coevolution models and, in particular, for understanding how early Universe seed black holes grew to become supermassive. However, while mergers have been observed to enhance th...

| Sumario: | [Context] Investigating whether and how galaxy mergers affect black hole growth can be a determinant for black hole-galaxy coevolution models and, in particular, for understanding how early Universe seed black holes grew to become supermassive. However, while mergers have been observed to enhance the active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity and thus black hole growth in massive galaxies, it is not yet known how this relation and the role of the environment translates to dwarf galaxies (the most likely hosts of the early seed black holes) since there are scarce and mixed results in the literature. |
