On residual finiteness of graphs of free groups with cyclic edge groups

We characterize which groups splitting as finite graphs of free groups with cyclic edge groups are residually finite. Such a group $G$ is residually finite if and only if all its Baumslag-Solitar subgroups are residually finite. From a presentation of $G$, we construct a finite labeled graph $\mathrm{\Gamma }$, and show that residual finiteness of $G$ is equivalent to an easily-detectable property of this graph. This characterization proves a conjecture of Wise.
