Cosmology with AGN dust time lags -- Simulating the new VEILS survey
S. F. Hönig, D. Watson, M. Kishimoto +9
The time lag between optical and near-infrared continuum emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN) shows a tight correlation with luminosity and has been proposed as a standardisabl…
Nuclear star formation activity and black hole accretion in nearby Seyfert galaxies
P. Esquej, A. Alonso-Herrero, O. González-Martín +10
Recent theoretical and observational works indicate the presence of a correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and the active galactic nuclei (AGN) luminosity (and, theref…
The subarcsecond mid-infrared view of local active galactic nuclei: I. The N- and Q-band imaging atlas
D. Asmus, S. F. Hönig, P. Gandhi +2
We present the first subarcsecond-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) atlas of local active galactic nuclei (AGN). Our atlas contains 253 AGN with a median redshift of z=0.016, and inclu…
Evidence for a receding dust sublimation region around a supermassive black hole
Makoto Kishimoto, Sebastian F. Hoenig, Robert Antonucci +6
The near-IR emission in Type 1 AGNs is thought to be dominated by the thermal radiation from dust grains that are heated by the central engine in the UV/optical and are almost at t…
A diversity of dusty AGN tori: Data release for the VLTI/MIDI AGN Large Program and first results for 23 galaxies
Leonard Burtscher, Klaus Meisenheimer, Konrad R. W. Tristram +9
The AGN-heated dust distribution (the "torus") is increasingly recognized not only as the absorber required in unifying models, but as a tracer for the reservoir that feeds the nuc…
Dust in the polar region as a major contributor to the IR emission of AGN
Sebastian F. Hoenig, Makoto Kishimoto, Konrad R. W. Tristram +7
(abridged) It is generally assumed that the distribution of dust on parsec scales forms a geometrically- and optically-thick entity in the equatorial plane around the accretion dis…
