Eddington limited starbursts in the central 10pc of AGN, and the Torus in NGC1068
R. Davies, R. Genzel, L. Tacconi +2
We present results from a survey of nearby AGN using the near infrared adaptive optics integral field spectrograph SINFONI. These data enable us to probe the distribution and kinem…
Evolution of local Ultraluminous mergers from NIR spectroscopy
K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +4
We present results from our VLT Large Program to study the dynamical evolution of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). We have so far obtained near-infrared high-resolution IS…
GRAVITY: The AO-Assisted, Two-Object Beam-Combiner Instrument
F. Eisenhauer, G. Perrin, S. Rabien +6
We present the proposal for the infrared adaptive optics (AO) assisted, two-object, high-throughput, multiple-beam-combiner GRAVITY for the VLTI. This instrument will be optimized…
VLTI observations of IRS~3: The brightest compact MIR source at the Galactic Centre
J. -U. Pott, A. Eckart, A. Glindemann +7
The dust enshrouded star IRS~3 in the central light year of our galaxy was partially resolved in a recent VLTI experiment. The presented observation is the first step in investigat…
Census of the Galactic Centre early-type stars using spectro-imagery
T. Paumard, R. Genzel, J. P. Maillard +4
The few central parsecs of the Galaxy are known to contain a surprising population of early-type stars, including at least 30 Wolf-Rayet stars and luminous blue variables (LBV), id…
Nuclear Dynamics and Star Formation of AGN
R. Davies, L. Tacconi, R. Genzel +1
We are using adaptive optics on Keck and the VLT to probe the dynamics and star formation in Seyfert and QSO nuclei, obtaining spatial resolutions better than 0.1" in the H- and K-…
