The infrared L'-band view of the Galactic Center with NAOS-CONICA at VLT
Y. Clénet, D. Rouan, E. Gendron +9
We report on Galactic Center L'-band observations made during NAOS/CONICA Science Verification. Colors of the inner 2" stars reveal an infrared excess of S2, the closest star to th…
Molecular Gas in the Lensed Lyman Break Galaxy cB58
Andrew J. Baker, Linda J. Tacconi, Reinhard Genzel +2
We have used the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer to map CO(3-2) emission from the gravitationally lensed Lyman break galaxy MS1512-cB58. This is the first detection of a molecu…
Hot Very Small dust Grains in NGC 1068 seen in jet induced structures thanks to VLT/NACO adaptive optics
Daniel Rouan, Francois Lacombe, Eric Gendron +12
We present K, L and M diffraction-limited images of NGC 1068 obtained with NAOS+CONICA at VLT/YEPUN over a 3.5" field around the central engine. Hot dust (Tcol = 550-650 K) is foun…
Near-infrared flares from accreting gas around the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Centre
R. Genzel, R. Schoedel, T. Ott +5
Recent measurements of stellar orbits provide compelling evidence that the compact radio source Sagittarius A* at the Galactic Centre is a 3.6-million-solar-mass black hole. Sgr A*…
The Nuclear Gas Dynamics and Star Formation of NGC 7469
R. Davies, L. Tacconi, R. Genzel
We report interferometric radio CO2-1 observations at a resolution of 0.7", and 0.085" resolution adaptive optics K-band spectroscopy of the inner few arcseconds of NGC7469. The CO…
ISO spectroscopy of star formation and active nuclei in the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240
D. Lutz, E. Sturm, R. Genzel +4
We present Infrared Space Observatory mid- and far-infrared spectroscopy of the merging galaxy NGC 6240, an object presenting many aspects of importance for the role of star format…
