Title: The circumstellar disks of nearby active galaxies
Abstract:
The aim of our project is (1) to image all nearby ellipticals that are
radiosources in 1–2μm emission lines, (2) to deduce the kinematics of the gas
in these lines, (3) to model the density and temperature of the gas, (4) to
deduce the mass of the nuclear black hole and the star formation rate (SFR)
in the central 10 pc, (5) to measure gas inflow and outflow rates in
non-equilibrium regions of the central structure and (6) summarize these
results over the 40 Mpc complete sample of ellipticals, noting correlations
with mass, radio power, SFR, emission line strength and x-ray power.
