Unveiling the properties of galaxy cores excavated by supermassive black hole binaries with SHARP
E. Bortolas, E. Portaluri, E. Dalla Bonta' +3
Massive black hole (MBH) binaries form as a result of galaxy mergers and can coalesce into a single MBH by emitting gravitational waves detectable by LISA and pulsar timing array c…
A new era for Dual AGN science with SHARP
P. Severgnini, C. Vignali, A. De Rosa +21
The search for and the characterization of ultra-compact dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the hottest topics of current extragalactic astrophysics. These systems involve…
Dual AGN and Multiple SMBH Systems in the Era of SKAO
Q. D'Amato, L. Cui, R. Deane +23
We present a radio-oriented review of current strategies for the detection and characterization of dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) and supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs),…
Fast, dust-poor outflows in the local candidate dual AGN MCG-03-34-64 observed with VLT/ERIS
I. Lamperti, F. Mannucci, E. Bertola +28
We present VLT/ERIS IFU J-band observations of MCG-03-34-64, a nearby (z = 0.0167) Seyfert galaxy hosting a candidate dual AGN system with a separation of ~100 pc between the nucle…
A XRISM view of the iron line complex in NGC 1068: Rethinking the prototypical Compton-thick AGN
S. Bianchi, B. Vander Meulen, E. Bertola +32
We analyze a XRISM/Resolve observation of NGC1068, focusing on the Fe K and Fe K fluorescent lines and on the Fe XXV and Fe XXVI emission complexes. Line centroid energies,…
Cosmic Duets I. High-spatial resolution spectroscopy of dual and lensed AGN with MUSE-NFM
M. Scialpi, F. Mannucci, Q. D'Amato +34
We present the first-year results of the MUSE Large Program "Cosmic Duets", whose goal is to obtain adaptive-optics assisted MUSE observations with an angular resolution of 0.1"-0.…
