Can double-peaked lines indicate merging effects in AGNs?

The influence of merging effects in the central part of an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) on the emission spectral line shapes are discussed. We present a model of close binary Broad Line Region. The numerical experiments show that the merging effects can explain double peaked lines. The merging effe...
