An <i>XMM–Newton</i> study of active–inactive galaxy pairs

An <i>XMM–Newton</i> study of active–inactive galaxy pairs

While theory and simulations indicate that galaxy mergers play an important role in the cosmological evolution of accreting black holes and their host galaxies, samples of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in galaxies at close separations are still small. In order to increase the sample of AGN pairs, we undertook an …
