Diffraction-Limited Imaging and Photometry of NGC 1068
The nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 was observed with speckle imaging techniques in the nearinfrared H band (1.6 km) with the 200-inch Hale Telescope on Palomar Mountain and K band (2.2 km) with the 10 m Keck I Telescope at the W. M. Keck Observatory. Images with di†raction-limited or nearÈdi†raction-limited resolutions of were obtained and 0A.05È0A.1 used to search for structure in the nuclea...

The nearby Seyfert 2 Galaxy NGC 1068 was observed with speckle imaging techniques in the near-infrared H−band (1.6 µm) at the Hale 200-inch Telescope at Palomar Observatory and K−band (2.2 µm) at the 10 m Keck I Telescope at the W. M. Keck Observatory. Images with diffraction limited or near-diffraction limited resolutions of 0. ′′ 05 − 0. ′′ 1 were obtained and used to search for structure in ...
متن کاملNear and Mid Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of NGC 1068
We present the results of a series of observations of the near-and mid-infrared polarisa-tion properties of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC1068. Our data agree well with previously published results in showing the need for a separate polarisation mechanism in the near infrared apart from scattering. We find that the predictions of a simple model in which this component arises through absorptive dichro...
متن کاملDiffraction-limited 76mas speckle masking observations of the core of NGC 1068 with the SAO 6m telescope
We present the first K-band bispectrum speckle interferometry of NGC1068 with an angular resolution of 76mas (∼ 5.5 pc). This angular resolution allows us to attribute the measured flux to only one of the nuclear sources seen at radio wavelengths. The observed decreasing visibility function suggests that the dominant central core is probably not an unresolved point source, but slightly resolved...
متن کاملEddington limited starbursts in the central 10 pc of AGN , and the Torus in NGC 1068
We present results from a survey of nearby AGN using the near infrared adaptive optics integral field spectrograph SINFONI. These data enable us to probe the distribution and kinematics of the gas and stars at spatial resolutions as small as 0.085 ′′. We find strong evidence for recent but short lived starbursts residing in very dense nuclear disks; on scales of less than 10 pc these would have...
