Shocks, Winds, and a Torus: The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) Resolves the Active Nucleus of NGC 4151

Jacob W. Isbell, Steve Ertel, Makoto Kishimoto +12

We present mid-infrared (MIR) observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151 using the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI). We took open-loop Fizeau images with 66-104 m…

I Zw 1 and H0557-385: The Dusty Tori of Two High Eddington AGNs Observed in the MATISSE LM-Bands

Farin Drewes, James H. Leftley, Sebastian F. Hönig +2

The torus in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is a complex dynamical structure of gas and dust. It is thought to be composed of an equatorial dusty disk and a polar dusty wind launched…

VLTI/GRAVITY Interferometric Measurements of Innermost Dust Structure Sizes around AGNs

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, G. Bourdarot +41

We present new VLTI/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometric measurements of the angular size of the innermost hot dust continuum for 14 type 1 AGNs. The angular sizes are resolved on…

CHARA/Silmaril Instrument Software and Data Reduction Pipeline: Characterization of the Instrument in the Lab and On-Sky

Narsireddy Anugu, Theo A. ten brummelaar, Cyprien Lanthermann +9

The newly installed Silmaril beam combiner at the CHARA array is designed to observe previously inaccessible faint targets, including Active Galactic Nuclei and T-Tauri Young Stell…

The size-luminosity relation of local active galactic nuclei from interferometric observations of the broad-line region

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, G. Bourdarot +42

By using the GRAVITY instrument with the near-infrared (NIR) Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), the structure of the broad (emission-)line region (BLR) in active galactic…

Forgotten treasures in the HST/FOC UV imaging polarimetric archives of active galactic nuclei. I. Pipeline and benchmarking against NGC~1068 and exploring IC~5063

Thibault Barnouin, Frédéric Marin, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez +2

Over its 13 years of operation (1990 -- 2002), the Faint Object Camera (FOC) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observed 26 individual active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in ultra…
