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…
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.…
Milky-Way-like stars in a galaxy core 8 billion years ago revealed by gravitational lensing
Quirino D'Amato, Filippo Mannucci, Alessandro Sonnenfeld +40
The assembly of stellar-dominated cores in elliptical galaxies is key to understanding how cosmic structures evolved. Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into the nature o…
Black hole merger rates for LISA and LGWA from semi-analytical modelling of light seeds
Jasbir Singh, Paola Severgnini, Vieri Cammelli +10
With the upcoming space- and Moon-based gravitational-wave detectors, LISA and LGWA respectively, a new era of GW astronomy will begin with the possibility of detections of the mer…
