Contribution
It introduces the potential of the ngVLA for deep surveys targeting low-mass galaxies to study SMBHs below one million solar masses.
Findings
ngVLA can detect faint SMBH signatures in low-mass galaxies
Provides new data on SMBH origins in a previously unexplored mass range
Enhances understanding of AGN feedback in low-mass galaxies
Abstract
The ngVLA will facilitate deep surveys capable of detecting the faint and compact signatures of accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses below one million solar-masses hosted by low-mass ( solar-masses) galaxies. This will provide important new insights on both the origins of supermassive black holes and the possible impact of active galactic nucleus-driven feedback in a currently unexplored mass regime.
