The early stage of a cosmic collision? XMM-Newton unveils two obscured AGN in the galaxy pair ESO509-IG066
We report the XMM-Newton discovery of a X-ray bright AGN pair in the interacting galaxy system ESO509-IG066. Both galaxies host an X-ray luminous ( erg s-1) obscured nucleus with column densities cm-2 and cm-2. The optical morphology is only mildly disturbed, suggesting a merging system in the early stage of …
