Searching for Nearby Supermassive Black Hole Binaries with GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, N. Aimar +82

We present a systematic interferometric search for close supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in 20 nearby type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) observed with VLTI/\grav. We inves…

Improving constraints on the Yukawa correction at the Galactic Center with multiple stellar orbits

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, :, A. Foschi +78

We investigate the presence of a Yukawa-like correction () to Newtonian gravity at the Galactic Center, using a multi-star fitting code, including the newly…

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…

Spatially resolved broad line region in a quasar at z=4: Dynamical black hole mass and prominent outflow

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, N. Aimar +92

We present the first near-infrared interferometric data of a QSO at z=4. The K-band observations were performed with GRAVITY+ on the VLTI using all four UTs, detecting a differenti…

Spectroscopic AGN survey at 2 with NTT/SOFI for GRAVITY+ observations

D. J. D. Santos, T. Shimizu, R. Davies +15

With the advent of GRAVITY+, the upgrade to the beam combiner GRAVITY at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), fainter and higher redshift active galactic nuclei (AGNs) a…

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…

GATOS: missing molecular gas in the outflow of NGC5728 revealed by JWST

R. Davies, T. Shimizu, M. Pereira-Santaella +49

The ionisation cones of NGC5728 have a deficit of molecular gas based on millimetre observations of CO(2-1) emission. Although photoionisation from the active nucleus may lead to s…

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…

Broad-line region geometry from multiple emission lines in a single-epoch spectrum

L. Kuhn, J. Shangguan, R. Davies +17

The broad-line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) traces gas close to the central supermassive black hole (BH). Recent reverberation mapping (RM) and interferometric spe…

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…
