Chandra X-ray Observations of Quasars with Velocity-Offset Broad Lines: Assessing the Binary Supermassive Black Hole Hypothesis
Peter Breiding, Michael Eracleous, Tamara BogdanoviÄ +2
During the final stages of a galaxy merger, dynamical friction acting on the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the post-merger remnant can lead to the formation of a gravitationa…

BASS LII: The prevalence of double-peaked broad lines at low accretion rates among hard X-ray selected AGN
Charlotte Ward, Michael J. Koss, Michael Eracleous +18
A fraction of active galactic nuclei (AGN) have double-peaked H, H and Mg II broad lines attributed to emission from rotating gas in the accretion disk. Using optical spect…
