Varstrometry for Off-nucleus and Dual Subkiloparsec Active Galactic Nuclei (VODKA): Investigating the Nature of SDSS J0823+2418 at z = 1.81, A Likely Lensed Quasar
Dual quasars at small physical separations are an important precursor phase of galaxy mergers, ultimately leading to the coalescence of the two supermassive black holes. Starting from a sample of dual and/or lensed quasar candidates discovered using astrometric jitter in Gaia data, we present a pilo...
