Discovery of Five Green Pea Galaxies with Double-peaked Narrow [OIII] Lines

Abstract

Although double-peaked narrow emission-line galaxies have been studied extensively in the past years, only a few are reported with the green pea galaxies (GPs). Here we present our discovery of five GPs with double-peaked narrow [OIII] emission lines, referred to as DPGPs, selected from the LAMOST and SDSS spectroscopic surveys. We find that these five DPGPs have blueshifted narrow components more prominent than the redshifted components, with velocity offsets of [OIII]$\lambda$5007 lines ranging from 306 to 518 $\mathrm{km}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ and full widths at half maximums (FWHMs) of individual components ranging from 263 to 441 $\mathrm{km}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$. By analyzing the spectra and the spectral energy distributions (SEDs), we find that they have larger metallicities and stellar masses compared with other GPs. The H$\alpha$ line width, emission-line diagnostic, mid-infrared color, radio emission, and SED fitting provide evidence of the AGN activities in these DPGPs. They have the same spectral properties of Type 2 quasars. Furthermore, we discuss the possible nature of the double-peaked narrow emission-line profiles of these DPGPs and find that they are more likely to be dual AGN. These DPGP galaxies are ideal laboratories for exploring the growth mode of AGN in the extremely luminous emission-line galaxies, the co-evolution between AGN and host galaxies, and the evolution of high-redshift galaxies in the early Universe.
