Abstract
The fraction of local dwarf galaxies that hosts massive black holes is arguably the cleanest diagnostic of the dominant seed formation mechanism of today's supermassive black holes. A 5 per cent constraint on this quantity can be achieved with AXIS observations of 3300 galaxies across the mass spectrum through a combination of serendipitous extra-galactic fields plus a dedicated 1 Msec GO program.
