Scientific paper

We ask for 80ks of HRC imaging observation to unambiguously resolve the X-ray emission, and unveil the nature, of two optical sources hosted by a galaxy in the COSMOS field {CID-42} and separated by only 0.495??. One of the two sources is the best candidate to date for being a recoiling super-massive black hole {SMBH} with both spectroscopic and imaging signatures, in a recently merged system. CID-42 is a possible ??Rosetta stone?? for the study of SMBH mergers that are believed to occur during galaxy-galaxy mergers. Is CID-42 {1} a GW recoiling SMBH from a recent merger or {2} a slingshot recoiling SMBH in a triple SMBH system? HRC imaging will decide clearly.;
