A Dual Active Black Hole Candidate with Mass Ratio ~7:1 in a Disk Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Xiao Cao, Yan-Mei Chen, Yong Shi, Junfeng Wang, Zhi-Jie Zhou | Summary: Dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with comparable masses are commonly witnessed among the major merged galaxies with interaction remnants. Considering almost every massive galaxy is associated with multiple dwarf satellites around it, minor mergers […]
