Dual Agn Candidates With Double-Peaked [O Iii] Lines Matching That Of Confirmed Dual Agns
ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL(2020)
摘要
We have performed a spectral decomposition to search for dual active galactic nuclei (DAGNs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasars with z iii] lines of known DAGNs. Out of 1271 SDSS quasars, we have identified 77 DAGN candidates. Optical and mid-infrared (MIR) diagnostic diagrams are used to investigate the ionizing source in the DAGN candidates. The optical diagnostic analysis suggests 93% of them are powered by AGNs, and MIR diagnostic analysis suggests 97% are powered by AGNs. About one-third of the SDSS images of the DAGN candidates show signs of tidal interaction, but we are unable to identify double nuclei in most of them due to the low spatial resolution of the archival imaging data available for most of the sample. The radio-loud fraction of the DAGN candidates (similar to 10%) is similar to that of typical AGNs.
