First Observation of CO Emission and foreground absorption Toward the Galactic Center with JWST
J. Qiu, A. Ciurlo, M. R. Morris +11
CO is an important, stable, and abundant molecule in the Universe, but it is very difficult to detect because it has no observable pure rotational transitions. The unique sensi…
Direct imaging of AGN outflows and their origin with the 23 m Large Binocular Telescope
Jacob W. Isbell, Steve Ertel, Jörg-Uwe Pott +17
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are a key component of galaxy evolution due to feedback on the host from its supermassive black hole. The morphology of warm, in- and outflowing dusty…
Mass flows in the Galactic Center by supernovae of the circumnuclear disk
Barnabas Barna, Richard Wünsch, Jan Palous +3
Context. The circumnuclear disk (CND) is presently the main supply of mass for the accretion onto the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the Galactic Center (GC). While the accretio…
Chromatically modelling the parsec scale dusty structure in the centre of NGC1068
James Leftley, Romain Petrov, Niklas Moszczynski +19
The Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) has been providing breakthrough images of the dust in the central parsecs of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), a key component of the AGN…
The JWST Galactic Center Survey -- A White Paper
Rainer Schoedel, Steve Longmore, Jonny Henshaw +111
The inner hundred parsecs of the Milky Way hosts the nearest supermassive black hole, largest reservoir of dense gas, greatest stellar density, hundreds of massive main and post ma…
Ionized regions in the central arcsecond of NGC 1068. YJHK spatially resolved spectroscopy
P. Vermot, B. Barna, S. Ehlerová +3
Context. Several bright emission line regions have been observed in the central 100 parsecs of the active galaxy NGC 1068. Aims. We aim to determine the properties and ionization m…
A 3D model for the stellar populations in the nuclei of NGC 1433,NGC 1566, and NGC 1808
P. Vermot, J. Palouš, B. Barna +3
Aims. We aim to characterize the properties of the stellar populations in the central few hundred parsecs of nearby galactic nuclei; specifically their age, mass, and 3D geometry.…
How to create Sgr A East: Where did the supernova explode?
S. Ehlerová, J. Palouš, M. R. Morris +3
Sgr A East is the supernova remnant closest to the centre of the Milky Way. Its age has been estimated to be either very young, around 1-2 kyr, or about 10 kyr, and its exact origi…
Misalignments in NGC 1068
Pierre Vermot
NGC 1068 is a nearby Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) of type 2, meaning that its accretion disk is hidden behind a large amount of foreground extinction. Observations at several wave…
Flash-light on the Ring: hydrodynamic simulations of expandingsupernova shells near supermassive black holes
B. Barna, J. Palouš, S. Ehlerová +3
The way supermassive black holes (SMBH) in galactic centers accumulate their mass is not completely determined. At large scales, it is governed by galactic encounters, mass inflows…
A geometric distance to the supermassive black Hole of NGC 3783
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +45
The angular size of the broad line region (BLR) of the nearby active galactic nucleus (AGN) NGC 3783 has been spatially resolved by recent observations with VLTI/GRAVITY. A reverbe…
The hot dust in the heart of NGC 1068's torus: A 3D radiative model constrained with GRAVITY/VLTi
Pierre Vermot, Yann Clénet, Damien Gratadour +5
The central region of NGC 1068 is one of the closest and most studied Active Galactic Nucleus. It is known to be of type 2, meaning that its accretion disk is obscured by a large a…
The central parsec of NGC 3783: a rotating broad emission line region, asymmetric hot dust structure, and compact coronal line region
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +47
Using VLTI/GRAVITY and SINFONI data, we investigate the sub-pc gas and dust structure around the nearby type 1 AGN hosted by NGC 3783. The K-band coverage of GRAVITY uniquely allow…
The spatially resolved broad line region of IRAS 09149-6206
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, W. Brandner +41
We present new near-infrared VLTI/GRAVITY interferometric spectra that spatially resolve the broad Br emission line in the nucleus of the active galaxy IRAS 09149-6206. We use t…
An image of the dust sublimation region in the nucleus of NGC 1068
GRAVITY Collaboration, O. Pfuhl, R. Davies +40
We present near-infrared interferometric data on the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068, obtained with the GRAVITY instrument on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Inter…
The resolved size and structure of hot dust in the immediate vicinity of AGN
GRAVITY Collaboration, J. Dexter, J. Shangguan +42
We use VLTI/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometry measurements of 8 bright, Type 1 AGN to study the size and structure of hot dust heated by the central engine. We partially resolve…
New insights on the central stellar population and gas outflow in NGC 1068 from YJH spectroscopy with SPHERE/VLT
Pierre Vermot, Yann Clénet, Damien Gratadour
Aims: We characterise the properties of stars, dust, and gas and their spatial distribution in the central region of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC1068. Method: Our study is based on nea…
