A Candidate Massive Black Hole in the Low-Metallicity Dwarf Galaxy Pair Mrk 709

A Candidate Massive Black Hole in the Low-Metallicity Dwarf Galaxy Pair Mrk 709

The incidence and properties of present-day dwarf galaxies hosting massive black holes (BHs) can provide important constraints on the origin of high-redshift BH seeds. Here we present high-resolution X-ray and radio observations of the low-metallicity, star-forming, dwarf-galaxy system Mrk 709 with...
