AstroSat-UVIT observations of a possibly interacting pair of galaxies in HCG 77
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Interactions and mergers possibly enhance the star formation in dwarf galaxies in a group environment. Aims. We aim to study star-forming regions and the spectral energy distribution of two possibly interacting galaxies, PGC 56121 and PGC 56125,

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesLow-mass galaxies are the building blocks of massive galaxies in the framework of hierarchical structure formation. To enable detailed studies of galactic ecosystems in dwarf galaxies by spatially resolving different galactic components, we have carried ...

A Luminous X-Ray Active Galactic Nucleus in the Dwarf–Dwarf Galaxy Merger RGG 66
The Astrophysical JournalWe present the discovery of a luminous X-ray active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the dwarf galaxy merger RGG 66. The black hole is predicted to have a mass of M _BH ∼ 10 ^5.4 M _⊙ and to be radiating close to its Eddington limit ( L _bol / L _Edd ∼ 0.75 ...

An Accreting Supermassive Black Hole Buried in a Faint Dwarf Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal LettersIn the last decade, there have been several discoveries of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in dwarf galaxies including an AGN in an ultracompact dwarf galaxy with a black hole mass >10 ^6 M _⊙ .

The High-mass X-Ray Binary Luminosity Functions of Dwarf Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalDrawing from the Chandra archive and using a carefully selected set of nearby dwarf galaxies, we present a calibrated high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) luminosity function in the low-mass galaxy regime and search for an already hinted at dependence on ...
