The Nature of Jets in Double-peaked Emission-line AGN in the KISSR Sample

Journal Article · · The Astrophysical Journal
Double-peaked emission-line AGN (DPAGN) have been regarded as binary black hole candidates. We present here results from parsec-scale radio observations with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) of five DPAGN belonging to the KISSR sample of emission-line galaxies. This work concludes our pilot study of nine type 2 Seyfert and LINER DPAGN from the KISSR sample. In the nine sources, dual compact cores are only detected in the “offset AGN,” KISSR 102. However, the overall incidence of jets in the eight sources that were detected with the VLBA is ≥ 60%. We find a difference in the “missing flux density” going from the Very Large Array to VLBA scales between Seyferts and LINERs, with LINERs showing less missing flux density on parsec-scales. Using the emission-line modeling code, MAPPINGS III, we find that the emission lines are likely to be influenced by jets in 5/9 sources. Furthermore, jet-medium interaction is the likely cause of the emission-line splitting observed in the SDSS spectra of these sources. Jets in radio-quiet AGN are therefore energetically capable of influencing their parsec- and kpcscale environments, which makes them agents of “radio AGN feedback” (similar to radio-loud AGN).
