Radiative transfer modelling of parsec-scale dusty warped discs
H. Jud, M. Schartmann, J. Mould +2
Warped discs have been found on (sub-)parsec scale in some nearby Seyfert nuclei, identified by their maser emission. Using dust radiative transfer simulations we explore their obs…
NGC 1068: No change in the mid-IR torus structure despite X-ray variability
N. López-Gonzaga, D. Asmus, F. E. Bauer +5
Context. Recent NuSTAR observations revealed a somewhat unexpected increase in the X-ray flux of the nucleus of NGC 1068. We expect the infrared emission of the dusty torus to reac…
Planet Formation Imager (PFI): science vision and key requirements
Stefan Kraus, John D. Monnier, Michael J. Ireland +75
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) project aims to provide a strong scientific vision for ground-based optical astronomy beyond the upcoming generation of Extremely Large Telescopes…
Mid-infrared interferometry of 23 AGN tori: On the significance of polar-elongated emission
N. López-Gonzaga, L. Burtscher, K. R. W. Tristram +2
Context. Detailed high resolution studies of AGN with mid-infrared (MIR) interferometry have revealed parsec-sized dust emission elongated in the polar direction in four sources. A…
The nuclear dust lane of Circinus: collimation without a torus
M. Mezcua, M. A. Prieto, J. A. Fernández-Ontiveros +1
In some AGN, nuclear dust lanes connected to kpc-scale dust structures provide all the extinction required to obscure the nucleus, challenging the role of the dusty torus proposed…
