Searching for the Origin of Double-peaked Broad Emission Lines in a
  Merging Galaxy with EVN
  The current cosmological structure formation models predict that galaxies
evolve through frequent mergers. During these events, the supermassive black
holes (SMBHs) residing in the centres of the galaxies shrink to the central
region, while losing energy via dynamical friction. Detection of SMBHs in these
galaxy mergers is straightforward if they are actively accreting matter from
their surroundings as active galactic nuclei (AGN). Currently, only a few dual
AGN are known. One way to identify dual AGN candidates is by detecting
double-peaked emission lines in their spectra. If these are broad spectral
lines, it may indicate the existence of two broad line regions associated with
two AGN. 2MASS J165939.7+183436 is a merging system, where the detected
double-peaked broad emission lines can be explained by a dual AGN with an
estimated separation of $0.085"$. Radio emission from this object was detected
in the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-centimeters survey with a flux
density of 2.6 mJy. We used the European Very Long Baseline Interferometer
Network and the enhanced Multi-Element Remotely Linked Interferometer Network
to image 2MASS J165939.7+183436 at 1.7 GHz. We did not detect compact radio
emission from the source.
