Authors and Co-Authors : Dr. Mousumi Das (Indian Institute of Astrophysics) Dr. Preeti Kharb (NCRA-TIFR) Abstract Type : Contributed Talk Abstract Category : Extragalactic astronomy Abstract : Dual Active galactic nuclei (AGN) or supermassive black hole (SMBH) pairs are expected to form during galaxy mergers and minor accretion events. When the SMBHs are accreting, they become dual AGN (DAGN). High-resolution radio or X-ray observations are the best way to confirm their presence. DAGN can help in understanding the galaxy evolution during mergers. We have done observations of such a merger system which shows two cores in optical, infrared and UV wavebands. We have observed this galaxy with the UVIT in the last ASTROSAT cycle. We have also done high-resolution radio observations with the expanded very large array (EVLA) to confirm the presence of DAGN in this system. In this presentation, we will show the preliminary results from our UVIT and radio observations of this DAGN. |
