An article published in “The Astrophysical Journal” reports the confirmation of three pairs of supermassive black holes in close proximity to the point that we will see them merge in a future that is near from an astronomical point of view. A team of researchers led by Dr. John Silverman of the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe used three observatories on Mount Maunakea in Hawaii: the Subaru Telescope, the Keck Observatory, and the Gemini Observatory to examine a huge amount of quasars in search of traces of a dual center, and among 421 candidates they confirmed three. These are rare cases, to the point that the estimate is that 0.3% of quasars are dual with two supermassive black holes on a collision course.
