We present evidence of a dual active galactic nucleus (AGN) within an early-type galaxy at z = 0.709 in the extended Groth strip. The galaxy lies on the red sequence, with absolute magnitude M_B = -21.0 (AB, with h = 0.7) and rest-frame color U - B = 1.38. Its optical spectrum shows strong, double-peaked [O III] emission lines and weak Hβ emission, with Seyfert-like line ratios. The two narrow peaks are separated by 630 km s^(-1) in velocity and arise from two distinct regions, spatially…
