An image of the dust sublimation region in the nucleus of NGC 1068

GRAVITY Collaboration, O. Pfuhl, R. Davies +40

We present near-infrared interferometric data on the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068, obtained with the GRAVITY instrument on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Inter…

Detection of orbital motions near the last stable circular orbit of the massive black hole SgrA*

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +57

We report the detection of continuous positional and polarization changes of the compact source SgrA* in high states ('flares') of its variable near- infrared emission with the nea…

Detection of the gravitational redshift in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +95

The highly elliptical, 16-year-period orbit of the star S2 around the massive black hole candidate Sgr A* is a sensitive probe of the gravitational field in the Galactic centre. Ne…

Millimeter mapping at z~1: dust-obscured bulge building and disk growth

Erica J. Nelson, Ken-ichi Tadaki, Linda J. Tacconi +15

A randomly chosen star in today's Universe is most likely to live in a galaxy with a stellar mass between that of the Milky Way and Andromeda. Yet it remains uncertain how the stru…

Rotating starburst cores in massive galaxies at z=2.5

Ken-ichi Tadaki, Tadayuki Kodama, Erica J. Nelson +21

We present spatially resolved ALMA observations of the CO J=3-2 emission line in two massive galaxies at z=2.5 on the star-forming main sequence. Both galaxies have compact dusty s…

PHIBSS: Unified Scaling Relations of Gas Depletion Time and Molecular Gas Fractions

L. J. Tacconi, R. Genzel, A. Saintonge +32

This paper provides an update of our previous scaling relations (Genzel et al.2015) between galaxy integrated molecular gas masses, stellar masses and star formation rates, in the…

Combined CO & Dust Scaling Relations of Depletion Time and Molecular Gas Fractions with Cosmic Time, Specific Star Formation Rate and Stellar Mass

R. Genzel, L. J. Tacconi, D. Lutz +33

We combine molecular gas masses inferred from CO emission in 500 star forming galaxies (SFGs) between z=0 and 3, from the IRAM-COLDGASS, PHIBSS1/2 and other surveys, with gas masse…
