SDSS-WISE coordinate offsets plus red WISE colors pre-select advanced mergers likely to host unresolved dual-AGN candidates, with Keck AO confirming substructure in 20 of 46 targets at 43 percent yield.
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.
HST-resolved SEDs for seven nearby BAT AGN show host-galaxy contamination biases accretion-disk temperature by ~2 eV, extinction by ~2.2 mag, bolometric luminosity by ~0.57 dex, and X-ray bolometric corrections by ~0.66 dex relative to Swift/UVOT data.
