Star-forming Nuclear Clusters in Dwarf Galaxies Mimicking Active Galactic Nucleus Signatures in the Mid-infrared

Effectively finding and identifying active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in dwarf galaxies is an important step in studying black hole formation and evolution. In this work, we examine four mid-infrared (IR)-selected AGN candidates in dwarf galaxies with stellar masses between M _⋆  ~ 10 ^8 and 10 ^9 M _⊙...
