LLAMA: Normal star formation efficiencies of molecular gas in the centres of luminous Seyfert galaxies

D. J. Rosario, L. Burtscher, R. I. Davies +23

Using new APEX and JCMT spectroscopy of the CO 2-1 line, we undertake a controlled study of cold molecular gas in moderately luminous Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and inactive gala…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. V. Optical Spectroscopic Campaign and Emission-Line Analysis for NGC 5548

L. Pei, M. M. Fausnaugh, A. J. Barth +153

We present the results of an optical spectroscopic monitoring program targeting NGC 5548 as part of a larger multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign. The campaign spanned s…

[The Impact of Nuclear Star Formation on Gas Inflow to AGN

R. I. Davies, E. Hicks, M. Schartmann +8

Our adaptive optics observations of nearby AGN at spatial resolutions as small as 0.085arcsec show strong evidence for recent, but no longer active, nuclear star formation. We begi…

The Role of Molecular Gas in Obscuring Seyfert Active Galactic Nuclei

E. K. S. Hicks, R. I. Davies, M. A. Malkan +4

In a sample of local active galactic nuclei studied at a spatial resolution on the order of 10 pc we show that the interstellar medium traced by the molecular hydrogen v=1-0 S(1) 2…

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…

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…
