Torus feeding and outflow launching in the active nucleus of the Circinus galaxy
Wout M. Goesaert, Konrad R. W. Tristram, C. M. Violette Impellizzeri +4
Context: Most active galactic nuclei (AGN) are believed to be surrounded by a dusty molecular torus on the parsec scale which is often embedded within a larger circumnuclear disk (…
I Zw 1 and H0557-385: The Dusty Tori of Two High Eddington AGNs Observed in the MATISSE LM-Bands
Farin Drewes, James H. Leftley, Sebastian F. Hönig +2
The torus in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is a complex dynamical structure of gas and dust. It is thought to be composed of an equatorial dusty disk and a polar dusty wind launched…
VLTI/GRAVITY Interferometric Measurements of Innermost Dust Structure Sizes around AGNs
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, G. Bourdarot +41
We present new VLTI/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometric measurements of the angular size of the innermost hot dust continuum for 14 type 1 AGNs. The angular sizes are resolved on…
A dynamical measure of the black hole mass in a quasar 11 billion years ago
R. Abuter, F. Allouche, A. Amorim +124
Tight relationships exist in the local universe between the central stellar properties of galaxies and the mass of their supermassive black hole. These suggest galaxies and black h…
The size-luminosity relation of local active galactic nuclei from interferometric observations of the broad-line region
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, G. Bourdarot +42
By using the GRAVITY instrument with the near-infrared (NIR) Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), the structure of the broad (emission-)line region (BLR) in active galactic…
The dusty heart of Circinus II. Scrutinizing the LM-band dust morphology using MATISSE
Jacob W. Isbell, Jörg-Uwe Pott, Klaus Meisenheimer +11
In this paper we present the first-ever - and -band interferometric observations of Circinus, building upon a recent -band analysis. We used these observations to reconstr…
