Dwarf AGN Candidates Scatter Plot

Caption

This scatter plot shows the number of candidate dwarf galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN) from previous surveys as compared with the number of new dwarf galaxy AGN candidates discovered by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). This plot is adapted from Figure 5 in the paper titled “Tripling the Census of Dwarf AGN Candidates Using DESI Early Data,” appearing in The Astrophysical Journal.
