AGN accretion disks as spatially resolved by polarimetry
Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Omer Blaes +4
A crucial difficulty in understanding the nature of the putative accretion disk in AGNs is that some of its key intrinsic spectral signatures cannot be observed directly. The stron…
The characteristic blue spectra of accretion disks in quasars as uncovered in the infrared
Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Omer Blaes +4
Quasars are thought to be powered by supermassive black holes accreting surrounding gas. Central to this picture is a putative accretion disk which is believed to be the source of…
Nuclear activity in nearby galaxies: Mid-infrared imaging with the VLT
R. Siebenmorgen, M. Haas, E. Pantin +7
Dust enshrouded activity can ideally be studied by mid-infrared (MIR) observations. In order to explore the AGN versus star forming origin of the nuclear MIR emission of galaxies,…
