We present the first results of the ongoing INAF GTO program focused on the search of sub-arcsecond dual AGN, carried out with the near-infrared integral-field unit SPIFFIER of the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph (ERIS) at the ESO Very Large Telescope, operating in adaptive-optics mode with a laser guide st...

We present the first statistical characterization of the physical properties of Cosmic Duets: dual AGN in the redshift range 0.5 $\leq$ z $\leq$ 3.0 with projected separations of 1-7 kpc, corresponding to systems in which both AGN are expected to reside within the same merger remnant. We analyze the largest homogeneous...

Major mergers are transformative events in galaxy evolution, dynamically reshaping the stellar and gas makeup of the hosts, as well as the galaxy-scale magnetic fields (B-fields) that permeate their interstellar medium (ISM), altering both B-field strength and configuration. In this work, we study in detail the link be...

Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) -- systems of two simultaneously accreting supermassive black holes at kiloparsec-scale separations -- are critical tracers of galaxy mergers and the progenitors of gravitational-wave sources targeted by pulsar timing arrays and the upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. Despite...

The archaeological reconstruction of historic monuments from fragmentary remains requires transforming limited evidence into verifiable hypotheses. This study proposes a methodological framework in which structural analysis plays an active interpretative role, rather than serving merely as verification, provided that i...
