Radio Observations of Four Active Galactic Nuclei Hosting Intermediate-mass Black Hole Candidates: Studying the Outflow Activity and Evolution

Abstract: Observational searches for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs; 102–106 M ⊙) include relatively isolated dwarf galaxies. For those that host active galactic nuclei (AGNs), the IMBH nature may be discerned through the accretion–jet activity. We present radio observations of four AGN-hosting dwarf galaxies, which potentially harbor IMBHs. Very large array (VLA) observations indicate steep spectra (indices of −0.63 to −1.05) between 1.4 and 9 GHz. However, a comparison with t… Show more

“…As an optically selected sample, it has a median distance of 20 Mpc and no significant radio bias. In the plot, we have also added SDSS J090613.77+561015.2 as a red point and four dwarf AGNs detected by Yang et al (2022b) with the VLBA at 1.55 GHz in the sample of Ho et al (1997). The four dwarf AGNs show a relatively compact morphology on pc scales and likely represent ejecta from their IMBH jet activity.…”
