Scientific paper

We propose to measure the kinematics of the AGNs inside the two colliding spiral galaxies in NGC 6240, by conducting an emission line analysis with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (HETGS). Measuring the black hole kinematics will provide new constraints for models of galactic mergers with AGNs, which in turn are important to understand the link between the growth of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. We can also extract HETGS spectra of the interface between the AGNs and the starburst region, in order to determine whether or not the predicted quenching of the starburst has started occurring near the AGNs.
