Dual and lensed AGN at sub-arcsecond separations uncovered by ERIS

M. V. Zanchettin, F. Mannucci, Q. D'Amato +62

We present the first results of the ongoing INAF GTO program focused on the search of sub-arcsecond dual AGN, carried out with the near-infrared integral-field unit SPIFFIER of the…

The gas streamer G1-2-3 in the Galactic Center

S. Gillessen, F. Eisenhauer, J. Cuadra +61

The black hole in the Galactic Center, Sgr A*, is prototypical for ultra-low-fed galactic nuclei. The discovery of a hand-full of gas clumps in the realm of a few Earth masses in i…
