Abstract (from CDS):

We report the XMM-Newton discovery of a X-ray bright AGN pair in the interacting galaxy system ESO509-IG066. Both galaxies host an X-ray luminous (LX∼1043erg/s) obscured nucleus with column densities NH≃7x1022cm–2 and NH≃5x1021cm–2. The optical morphology is only mildly disturbed, suggesting a merging system in the early stage of its evolution. Still, the pair is probably gravitationally bound, and might eventually evolve into a compact, fully gas embedded systems such as NGC 6240 (Komossa, 2003ApJ...582L..15K).
