A quasar pair at z=5.7 is confirmed in a galaxy merger via ALMA, setting a lower limit of >1.2% on the pair fraction at 5.5<z<6 and linking it to the PTA gravitational wave background.

Synthetic proximity-zone spectra plus a simple peak-finding algorithm can distinguish line-of-sight separations of quasar pairs at the 0.2–0.5 pMpc level for sky separations of 10–100 pkpc and still separate close versus distant pairs at 1 pMpc sky separation.
The quasar J1512+4422 at z~6.2 lies on the local M_BH-σ_* relation and powers an outflow whose mass and energy loss rates exceed the host's star formation rate, indicating negative feedback.
A review outlining radio methods for dual AGN and SMBHB detection and the role of SKAO in enabling comprehensive studies across cosmic time.

The Quasar Proximity Effect as an Alternative Probe of Quasar Pair Distances
Synthetic proximity-zone spectra plus a simple peak-finding algorithm can distinguish line-of-sight separations of quasar pairs at the 0.2–0.5 pMpc level for sky separations of 10–100 pkpc and still separate close versus distant pairs at 1 pMpc sky separation.
