Astronomers discover eight buried dual AGN candidates

Astronomers discovered eight buried dual AGN candidates, the largest sample of hidden accreting supermassive black holes in late stage galaxy mergers, selected using NASA's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope. This result will be presented by graduate student Ryan Pfeifle of George Mason University (Fairfax, Virginia, U.S.) at the annual meeting of the European Astronomical Society (EWASS2019) in Lyon, France, on Friday, 28 June.
