X-Ray Bright Active Galactic Nuclei in Local Dwarf Galaxies: Insights from eROSITA

Although supermassive black holes (SMBHs) reside in the heart of virtually every massive galaxy, it remains debated whether dwarf galaxies commonly host SMBHs. Because low-mass galaxies may retain memory of the assembly history of their black holes (BHs), probing the BH occupation fraction of local...
