However, confirmed DAGN are rare and finding these systems has proved to be challenging. Recent systematic searches for DAGN using double-peaked emission lines have yielded several new detections. As have the studies of samples of merging galaxies. In this paper, we present an updated list of DAGN compiled from published data. We also present preliminary results from our ongoing Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) radio study of eight double- peaked emission-line AGN (DPAGN). One of the sample galaxy shows an S-shaped radio jet. Using new and archival data, we have successfully fitted a precessing jet model to this radio source. We find that the jet precession could be due to a binary AGN with a super-massive black-hole (SMBH) separation of 0.02 pc or a single AGN with a tilted accretion disk. We have found that another sample galaxy, which is undergoing a merger, has two radio cores with a projected separation of 5.6 kpc. We discuss the preliminary results from our radio study. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Link</b>: <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.03451" class="">https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.03451</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you’d like to present a paper from the field of astrophysics, please contact me via this email (<a href="mailto:lceraj@phy.hr" class="">lceraj@phy.hr</a>).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You can find information about the upcoming AJC seminars and links to previous AJC presentations @ <b class=""><a href="https://lanaceraj.wixsite.com/ajc-main" class="">https://lanaceraj.wixsite.com/ajc-main</a> </b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">See you all on Wednesday.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Lana</div></body></html>
