Scientific paper

Most theoretical discussions of active galactic nuclei attribute their energy production either to an accreting black hole or to a precursor stage whose inevitable end point is a massive black hole. The possibility is explored that some active nuclei may contain two massive black holes in orbit about each other. This hypothesis suggests a new interpretation for the observed bending and apparent precession of radio jets emerging from these objects and may indeed be verified through detection of the direct consequences of orbital motion.
