The aim of this research project was to investigate the presence of enhanced radio jet activity due to the merging of quasars. Through the results obtained we deduced that astrophysical phenomena (in our study) change as the separation between interacting quasars changes i.e. we note the effect of the merging of AGN by noting the change in activity of interacting galaxies.
SMBH grow by merging with other black holes or by accretion of matter which is the process of attracting mater via a gravitational force leading to a growth of the attracting agent, and this growth promotes activity in the host galaxy. The results show that there is a change/ enhancement in the AGN activity. The increase in AGN activity is directly linked to a reduced separation between interacting quasars – i.e. an increase in the activity of the two interacting central SMBHs leads to increased overall activity in the merging galaxies of which jet activity forms a part of. We thus accredit an enhancement in radio jet activity to AGN merging
events events.
The results are not surprising as similar conclusions were reached in studies done in the X-ray range \cite{Koss_2012, Liu_2011}.
We further note that since mergers increase AGN activity which translates to enhanced (increased) activity, perhaps the most active AGN today may be the result of the merging of smaller galaxies.
one of the main challenges in the study was the physical limitations of the SDSS.
Observations We could not obtain observations at smaller projected separations
are hampered as small separations are difficult to resolve using current SDSS technology. This in turn
limits the ability to make solid inferences on restricted the
available data.This is perhaps proof study to
the claim that: "AGN AGN pairs
denote a special population of galaxy pairs, in which the central SMBHs of both galaxies are
actively accreting at the same time" \citet{Liu_2012}. with certain projected separation. There
are were also clear selection effects and biases, however, the
more we do this, re-sample and analyze the data, the more we overcome
those. these.
We have observed that mergers increase AGN activity which translates to enhanced (increased) jet or radio activity, and we can now conclude that perhaps the most active AGN today may be In conclusion, the result
of the merging of smaller galaxies. from our post-merger data
we leads us to postulate that enhanced AGN activity continues as AGN merge. This postulate is investigated further in Deane et al.
