In this manuscript, an interesting blue Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) SDSS J154751.94+025550 (=SDSS J1547) is reported with very different line profiles of broad Balmer emission lines: double-peaked broad H$beta$ but single-peaked broad H$alpha$. SDSS J1547 is the first AGN with detailed discussions on very different line profiles of the broad Balmer emission lines, besides the simply mentioned different broad lines in the candidate for a binary black hole (BBH) system in SDSS J0159+0105. The very different line profiles of the broad Balmer emission lines can be well explained by different physical conditions to two central BLRs in a central BBH system in SDSS J1547. Furthermore, the long-term light curve from CSS can be well described by a sinusoidal function with a periodicity about 2159days, providing further evidence to support the expected central BBH system in SDSS J1547. Therefore, it is interesting to treat different line profiles of broad Balmer emission lines as intrinsic indicators of central BBH systems in broad line AGN. Under assumptions of BBH systems, 0.125% of broad line AGN can be expected to have very different line profiles of broad Balmer emission lines. Future study on more broad line AGN with very different line profiles of broad Balmer emission lines could provide further clues on the different line profiles of broad Balmer emission lines as indicator of BBH systems.

We discuss results from very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of two Seyfert galaxies with double peaked emission lines in their SDSS optical spectra. Such AGN are potential candidates for the presence of binary black holes, which can
be resolved on parsec-scales with VLBI. Our observations do not detect twin radio cores but rather nuclear outflows in these Seyferts. These outflows could be interacting with the emission line clouds producing the double peaks in the emission lines.
We study the disk emission component hidden in the single-peaked Broad Emission Lines (BELs) of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We compare the observed broad lines from a sample of 90 Seyfert 1 spectra taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with simul
ated line profiles. We consider a two-component Broad Line Region (BLR) model where an accretion disk and a surrounding non-disk region with isotropic cloud velocities generate the simulated BEL profiles. The analysis is mainly based in measurements of the full widths (at 10%, 20% and 30% of the maximum intensity) and of the asymmetries of the line profiles. Comparing these parameters for the simulated and observed H$alpha$ broad lines, we {found} that the hidden disk emission {may} be present in BELs even if the characteristic {of two peaked line profiles is} absent. For the available sample of objects (Seyfert 1 galaxies with single-peaked BELs), our study indicates that, {in the case of the hidden disk emission in single peaked broad line profiles}, the disk inclination tends to be small (mostly $i<25^circ$) and that the contribution of the disk emission to the total flux should be smaller than the contribution of the surrounding region.
The quasar SDSS J105041.35+345631.3 (z = 0.272) has broad emission lines blueshifted by 3500 km/s relative to the narrow lines and the host galaxy. Such an object may be a candidate for a recoiling supermassive black hole, binary black hole, a superp
osition of two objects, or an unusual geometry for the broad emission-line region. The absence of narrow lines at the broad line redshift argues against superposition. New Keck spectra of J1050+3546 place tight constraints on the binary model. The combination of large velocity shift and symmetrical H-beta profile, as well as aspects of the narrow line spectrum, make J1050+3546 an interesting candidate for black hole recoil. Other aspects of the spectrum, however, suggest that the object is most likely an extreme case of a ``double-peaked emitter. We discuss possible observational tests to determine the true nature of this exceptional object.
Although accretion disks are a theoretically appealing model for the geometry and dynamics of the gas in the vicinity of black holes in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), there is little direct observational evidence for their existence. The telltale sign
ature of disk emission in AGN -- double peaked emission lines -- have so far been found in only two dozen cases in the optical. We have selected about 100 double-peaked broad emission line AGN from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) from a large sample of over 4000 AGN with z<0.4. By comparing the properties of these AGN with those of the full sample, we hope to isolate the defining characteristics of disk-emitters and ultimately answer the question: If all AGN have accretion disks, why dont they all show double-peaked disk emission lines? Here we present Gaussian parameterized Halpha line-profile measurements for the sample of double-peaked AGN in comparison with circular and elliptical accretion disk models.
We report the discovery of extremely broad 21-cm HI absorption (FWZI ~1600 km/s) detected with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope in the radio source 4C37.11 (B2 0402+379). This object has been claimed to host a super-massive binary black hole
(Rodriguez et al. 2006). The main features in the absorption profile are two components, separated by ~1100 km/s. The HI absorption in 4C37.11 is unusual because it is the first case where such broad absorption is found to be centred on the systemic velocity of the host galaxy and not asymmetric and blueshifted as is seen in all other galaxies with broad HI absorption. Given the large width of the absorption, we suggest that a possible explanation for the extreme properties of the HI absorption is that it is the kinematic signature of a binary black hole. If this interpretation is correct, the combined black hole mass derived from the absorption profile is consistent with that derived from the luminosity of the spheroid. If the broad absorption is indeed due to a binary black hole, this finding confirms the importance of the gaseous component in the merging process of supermassive black holes.
