The kinematics in the pc-scale jets of AGN The case of S5 1803+784

S. Britzen, N. A. Kudryavtseva, A. Witzel +8

We present a kinematic analysis of jet component motion in the VLBI jet of the BL Lac object S5 1803+784, which does not reveal long-term outward motion for most of the components.…

Circular Polarimetry of Extragalactic Radio Sources

E. Cenacchi, A. Kraus, T. Beckert +1

We report multi-frequency circular polarization measurements for the four extragalactic radio sources 0056-00, 0716+71, 3C138 and 3C161 taken at the Effelsberg 100-m radiotelescope…

Phase Closure Image Reconstruction for Future VLTI Instrumentation

Mercedes E. Filho, Stephanie Renard, Paulo Garcia +21

Classically, optical and near-infrared interferometry have relied on closure phase techniques to produce images. Such techniques allow us to achieve modest dynamic ranges. In order…

Phase Referencing in Optical Interferometry

Mercedes E. Filho, Paulo Garcia, Gilles Duvert +20

One of the aims of next generation optical interferometric instrumentation is to be able to make use of information contained in the visibility phase to construct high dynamic rang…

Starbursts and torus evolution in AGN

B. Vollmer, T. Beckert, R. Davies

Recent VLT SINFONI observations of the close environments (~30pc) of nearby AGNs have shown that thick gas tori and starbursts with ages between 10 and 150Myr are frequently found.…

Probing the dusty environment of the Seyfert 1 nucleus in NGC 3783 with MIDI/VLTI interferometry

Thomas Beckert, Thomas Driebe, Sebastian F. Hoenig +1

We present mid-IR spectro-interferometry of the Seyfert type 1 nucleus of NGC 3783. The dusty circumnuclear environment is spatially resolved and the wavelength dependence of the c…
