  Like this one, seems to host a very active nucleus! But I cant find a second nucleus? What do I need to look for to find it?

  Why would you look for a second nucleus ?

  This #seyfert 2 galaxy has a radio jet also, probably from the supermassive black hole. The double nucleus isnt visible other that what seems to be an elliptical nucleus.Here is the abstract on the double nuclei and the jet
