Molecular gas streamers feeding and obscuring the active nucleus of NGC1068
F. Mueller Sanchez, R. I. Davies, R. Genzel +5
We report the first direct observations of neutral, molecular gas streaming in the nucleus of NGC1068 on scales of <30 pc using SINFONI near-infrared integral field spectroscopy. A…
The supermassive black hole of Fornax A
N. Nowak, R. P. Saglia, J. Thomas +3
The radio galaxy Fornax A (NGC 1316) is a prominent merger remnant in the outskirts of the Fornax cluster. Its giant radio lobes suggest the presence of a powerful AGN and thus a c…
From rings to bulges: evidence for rapid secular galaxy evolution at z~2 from integral field spectroscopy in the SINS survey
R. Genzel, A. Burkert, N. Bouche +22
We present Ha integral field spectroscopy of well resolved, UV/optically selected z~2 star-forming galaxies as part of the SINS survey with SINFONI on the ESO VLT. Our laser guide…
The SINFONI MgII Program for Line Emitters (SIMPLE): Discovering starbursts near QSO sight-lines
Nicolas Bouche, Michael T. Murphy, Celine Peroux +4
Low-ionization transitions such as the MgII 2796/2803 doublet trace cold gas in the vicinity of galaxies. It is not clear whether this gas is part of the interstellar medium of lar…
The supermassive black hole in NGC4486a detected with SINFONI at the VLT
N. Nowak, R. P. Saglia, J. Thomas +4
The near-infrared integral field spectrograph SINFONI at the ESO VLT opens a new window for the study of central supermassive black holes. With a near-IR spatial resolution similar…
A Close Look at Star Formation around Active Galactic Nuclei
R. Davies, F. Mueller Sanchez, R. Genzel +4
We analyse star formation in the nuclei of 9 Seyfert galaxies at spatial resolutions down to 0.085arcsec, corresponding to length scales of less than 10pc in some objects. Our data…
