Evidence for Black Holes in Green Peas from WISE Colors and Variability

Evidence for Black Holes in Green Peas from WISE Colors and Variability

We explore the presence of active galactic nuclei (AGNs)/black holes in Green Pea galaxies (GPs), motivated by the presence of high-ionization emission lines such as He ii and [Ne iii ] in their optical spectra. In order to identify AGN candidates, we used mid-infrared (MIR) photometric observations...
