A new study has probed the possibility of some of the smallest galaxies in the universe, particularly dwarf spheroidal galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, hosting black holes. This can help advancing our understanding of black hole formation and galaxy evolution across cosmic time.
This study was published in the Astrophysical Journal titled "Can Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies Host a Central Black Hole?", by K. Aditya and A. Mangalam.
