This document illustrates the feasibility of a few per cent level measurement of the local black hole occupation fraction in low mass galaxies through wide-field, high angular resolution X-ray imaging observations of local volume galaxies. The occupation fraction, particularly at the low end of the galaxy luminosity function, is a key benchmark for any model which aims to reproduce the formation and growth of super-massive black holes and their host galaxies. Our proposed measurement will complement orthogonal efforts that are planned in X-rays at high red-shifts, as well as in the local Universe with ground-based facilities.

Exploring the local black hole mass function below $10^6$ solar masses
Gallo and Sesana estimate the local black hole mass function between 10^5 and 10^6 solar masses by folding GAMA galaxy counts together with X-ray occupation fraction constraints, finding a normalization uncertainty of...
