The Morphology of Dwarf Galaxies Hosting Variable Active Galactic Nuclei

We analyze Hubble Space Telescope optical imaging of eight low-mass galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN) identified via their photometric variability in V. F. Baldassare et al. We use GALFIT to model the 2D galaxy light profiles, and find a diversity of morphologies. The galaxies with regul...
