Discovery of a binary quasar at z~0.2 with 430 pc separation indicating a bound SMBH pair each >4e8 Msun, with 2.5 Gyr upper limit on merger timescale and implications for the PTA gravitational wave background.
Outliers from the black hole-stellar mass scaling relation arise from distinct channels of enhanced mergers with super-Eddington growth, gravitational recoils after mergers, environmental stellar mass loss, and quiescent histories.
X-ray AGN fraction increases with central star formation rate density in local galaxies, supporting coeval black hole and galaxy growth with only modest time-averaged AGN feedback effects.

Investigating central star formation in local AGN host galaxies: is there tension between coeval growth and AGN feedback?
X-ray AGN fraction increases with central star formation rate density in local galaxies, supporting coeval black hole and galaxy growth with only modest time-averaged AGN feedback effects.
