An X-Ray-Selected Sample of Candidate Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies

We present a sample of hard X-ray-selected candidate black holes (BHs) in 19 dwarf galaxies. BH candidates are identified by cross-matching a parent sample of ~44,000 local dwarf galaxies (M* = 3 × 10 9 M☉, z < 0.055) with the Chandra Source Catalog and subsequently analyzing the original X-ray d...
