Abstract
AbstractIt is known that among active galaxies (AG) with strong emission lines (UV-galaxies, Sy1 and Sy2, Markarian and Kazarian galaxies, radio-galaxies, QSOs host galaxies and so on) there is a large percentage of objects with double and multiple (or complex) nuclei. The common sizes of these nuclei are of the order of a few hundred parsecs or kiloparsecs. We shall discuss the results of morphological and spectroscopic observations of a number of “active galaxies” carried out with the 5m Palomar telescope, 2.6m telescope of Ambartsumian Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory, 6m telescope of Special Astrophysical Observatory in Russia, and newer Hubble Space Telescope data.
