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…
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…
Particle acceleration in low-power hotspots: modelling the broad-band spectral energy distribution
G. Migliori, M. Orienti, L. Coccato +4
The acceleration and radiative processes active in low-power radio hotspots are investigated by means of new deep near-infrared (NIR) and optical VLT observations, complemented wit…
The resolved size and structure of hot dust in the immediate vicinity of AGN
GRAVITY Collaboration, J. Dexter, J. Shangguan +42
We use VLTI/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometry measurements of 8 bright, Type 1 AGN to study the size and structure of hot dust heated by the central engine. We partially resolve…
A Compact Jet at the Infrared Heart of the Prototypical Low-Luminosity AGN in NGC 1052
J. A. Fernández-Ontiveros, N. López-Gonzaga, M. A. Prieto +4
The feeble radiative efficiency characteristic of Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (LLAGN) is ascribed to a sub-Eddington accretion rate, typically at $\log(L_{\rm bol}/L_{\rm…
The photocentre-AGN displacement: Is M87 actually harbouring a displaced supermassive black hole?
Elena López-Navas, M. Almudena Prieto
M87 has been identified as a displaced supermassive black hole (SMBH) candidate. We investigated this possibility by a temporal analysis of twelve Adaptive-Optics assisted-VLT and…
