A Luminous X-Ray Active Galactic Nucleus in the Dwarf–Dwarf Galaxy Merger RGG 66
We present the discovery of a luminous X-ray active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the dwarf galaxy merger RGG 66. The black hole is predicted to have a mass of M _BH ∼ 10 ^5.4 M _⊙ and to be radiating close to its Eddington limit ( L _bol / L _Edd ∼ 0.75). The AGN in RGG 66 is notable both for its prese...
