    The Central Molecular Gas Structure in LINERs with Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei: Evidence for Gradual Disappearance of the Torus
    We present observations of the molecular gas in the nuclear environment of three prototypical low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs), based on VLT...

    The central parsec of NGC 3783: a rotating broad emission line region, asymmetric hot dust structure, and compact coronal line region
    Using VLTI/GRAVITY and SINFONI data, we investigate the subparsec gas and dust structure around the nearby type 1 active galactic nucleus (AGN) hosted by NGC...

    The central parsecs of active galactic nuclei: challenges to the torus
    Type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGN) are by definition nuclei in which the broad-line region and continuum light are hidden at optical/UV wavelengths by dust...

    The central parsecs of M87: jet emission and an elusive accretion disc
    We present the first simultaneous spectral energy distribution (SED) of M87 core at a scale of 0.4 arcsec ( ˜ 32 pc) across the electromagnetic spectrum. Two...

    The Central Region in M100: Observations and Modeling
    We present new high-resolution observations of the central region in the late-type spiral galaxy M100 (NGC 4321) supplemented by three-dimensional numerical...

    The central region of M83: massive star formation, kinematics, and the location and origin of the nucleus
    We report new near-IR integral field spectroscopy of the central starburst region of the barred spiral galaxy M83 obtained with Cambridge Infra-Red Panoramic...

    The central region of spiral galaxies as seen by Herschel. M 81, M 99, and M 100
    With appropriate spatial resolution, images of spiral galaxies in thermal infrared (~10 μm and beyond) often reveal a bright central component, distinct from...

    The centres of M83 and the Milky Way: opposite extremes of a common star formation cycle
    In the centres of the Milky Way and M83, the global environmental properties thought to control star formation are very similar. However, M83's nuclear star...

    The Cetus-Palca stream: A disrupted small dwarf galaxy. A prequel to the science possible with WEAVE with precise spectro-photometric distances
    We present a new fully data-driven approach to derive spectro-photometric distances based on artificial neural networks. The method was developed and tested on...
