X-ray and Ultraviolet Properties of AGN in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies

Understand

We present new Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope observations of eight optically selected broad-line AGN candidates in nearby dwarf galaxies ($z<0.055$).

• Including archival Chandra observations of three additional sources, our sample contains all ten galaxies from Reines et al.
• (2013) with both broad H$\alpha$ emission and narrow-line AGN ratios (6 AGNs, 4 Composites), as well as one low-metallicity dwarf galaxy with broad H$\alpha$ and narrow-line ratios characteristic of star formation.
• All eleven galaxies are detected in X-rays.
