THE NATURE OF DOUBLE-PEAKED [O III] ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with double-peaked [O iii] lines are suspected to be sub-kpc or kpc-scale binary AGNs. However, pure gas kinematics can produce the same double-peaked line profile in spatially integrated spectra. Here we combine integral-field spectroscopy and high-resolution imaging of 42 double-peaked [O iii] AGNs from the Sloan …
