Double-peaked Balmer-line profiles originate in the accretion disks of a few percent of optically selected AGN. The reasons behind the strong low-ionization line emission from the accretion disks of these objects is still uncertain. In this paper, we characterize the X-ray properties of 39 double-peaked Balmer line AGN, 29 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and 10 low optical-luminosity double-peaked emitters from earlier radio-selected samples. We find that the UV-to-X-ray slope of radio-quiet (RQ) double-peaked emitters as a class does not differ substantially from that of normal RQ AGN with similar UV monochromatic luminosity. The radio-loud (RL) double-peaked emitters, with the exception of LINER galaxies, are more luminous in the X-rays than RQ AGN, as has been observed for other RL AGN with single-peaked profiles. The X-ray spectral shapes of double-peaked emitters, measured by their hardness ratios or power-law photon indices, are also largely consistent with those of normal AGN of similar radio-loudness. In practically all cases studied here, external illumination of the accretion disk is necessary to produce the Balmer-line emission, as the gravitational energy released locally in the disk by viscous stresses is insufficient to produce lines of the observed strength. In the Appendix we study the variability of Mrk 926, a double-peaked emitter with several observations in the optical and X-ray bands.
We present a new sample of 116 double-peaked Balmer line Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Double-peaked emission lines are believed to originate in the accretion disks of AGN, a few hundred gravitational radii
Double-peaked [O III]5007, profiles in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may provide evidence for the existence of dual AGNs, but a good diagnostic for selecting them is currently lacking. Starting from $sim$ 7000 active galaxies in SDSS DR7, we assemble
We summarize the optical, UV, and X-ray properties of double-peaked emitters -- AGN with double-peaked Balmer emission lines believed to originate in the AGN accretion disk. We focus on the X-ray spectroscopic results obtained from a new sample of th
We analyze X-ray spectra of heavily obscured (N_H > 10^{24} cm^{-2}) active galaxies obtained with Chandra, concentrating on the iron K alpha fluorescence line. We measure very large equivalent widths in most cases, up to 5 keV in the most extreme ex
Merger simulations predict that tidally induced gas inflows can trigger kpc-scale dual active galactic nuclei (dAGN) in heavily obscured environments. Previously with the Very Large Array, we have confirmed four dAGN with redshifts between $0.04 < z
