Scientific paper

We propose here to test the proposed merger-AGN connection `in the reverse', by searching for evidence of hidden AGN in imminent mergers and very recent merger remnants objectively and homogeneously selected from the highly complete Millennium Galaxy Catalog. Even if the AGNs are hidden behind dust and gas, they should be visible in the X-rays. We propose to image a sample of 17 targets at z < 0.06 to search for evidence that these objects host active supermassive black holes using XMM-EPIC. This will constitute a stringent test of the merger-AGN cycle.
