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…
HYPERION. The cold ISM of rapidly growing quasars: diverse gas reservoirs, dust enrichment, and feedback signatures
Claudia Maria Pierro, Roberta Tripodi, Laura Pentericci +11
Luminous QSOs at host some of the most rapidly assembled SMBHs in the early Universe. Characterizing their cold ISM is essential to determine their evolution. We investigate…
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…
Enhanced activity in close dual-AGN systems in the local Universe
Lorenzo Battistini, Alessandra De Rosa, Paola Severgnini +16
We present the study of an X-ray selected sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in pairs at projected spatial separations 1 </kpc < 100 at z < 0.1, using XMM-Newton and Chan…
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.…
Extended coronal line emission and new clues to a possible dual AGN in the merger J1356+1026
M. Bianchin, C. Ramos Almeida, O. González-MartÃn +12
Merging luminous galaxies are ideal laboratories to study some of the most extreme astrophysical phenomena. The local (z=0.1232) obscured quasar J1356+1026 has two nuclei, North an…
