A deep Herschel/PACS observation of CO(40-39) in NGC 1068: a search for the molecular torus
A. W. Janssen, S. Bruderer, E. Sturm +14
Emission from high-J CO lines in galaxies has long been proposed as a tracer of X-ray dominated regions (XDRs) produced by AGN. Of particular interest is the question of whether th…
Insights on the Dusty Torus and Neutral Torus from Optical and X-ray Obscuration in a Complete Volume Limited Hard X-ray AGN Sample
R. Davies, L. Burtscher, D. Rosario +21
We describe a complete volume limited sample of nearby active galaxies selected by their 14-195keV luminosity, and outline its rationale for studying the mechanisms regulating gas…
Obscuration in AGNs: near-infrared luminosity relations and dust colors
L. Burtscher, G. Orban de Xivry, R. I. Davies +11
We combine two approaches to isolate the AGN luminosity at near-infrared wavelengths and relate the near-IR pure AGN luminosity to other tracers of the AGN. Using integral-field sp…
GRAVITY: the VLTI 4-beam combiner for narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric imaging
N. Blind, F. Eisenhauer, S. Gillessen +23
GRAVITY is the second generation Very Large Telescope Interferometer instrument for precision narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric imaging in the Near Infra-Red (NIR). It sh…
The GRAVITY metrology system: narrow-angle astrometry via phase-shifting interferometry
M. Lippa, N. Blind, S. Gillessen +26
The VLTI instrument GRAVITY will provide very powerful astrometry by combining the light from four telescopes for two objects simultaneously. It will measure the angular separation…
