Searching for the Highest-z Dual AGN in the Deepest Chandra Surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Brandon Sandoval, Adi Foord, Steven W. Allen, Marta Volonteri, Aaron Stemo | Summary: We present an analysis searching for dual AGN among 62 high-redshift ($2.5 < z < 3.5$) X-ray sources selected from publicly available deep Chandra fields. We aim to quantify the frequency of dual […]
