Close dual-AGN systems exhibit increased obscuration, higher bolometric luminosity, and elevated Eddington ratios for the less massive black hole as projected separation decreases, with excess AGN pairs relative to controls.
Cosmic rays heat inner gas clouds in NGC 5728 and boost low-ionization optical and certain mid-IR lines while high-ionization lines remain insensitive, enabling multi-wavelength separation of CR, shock, and metallicity effects.
High CR ionization rates (above 10^-13 s^-1) in AGN and starburst models produce enhanced low-ionization emission that matches observations without super-solar metallicities and suggests revised BPT diagram boundaries.
