The Accretion Mode in Sub-Eddington Supermassive Black Holes: Getting into the Central Parsecs of Andromeda

The inner kiloparsec regions surrounding sub-Eddington (luminosity less than 10 ^−3 in Eddington units, L _Edd ) supermassive black holes (BHs) often show a characteristic network of dust filaments that terminate in a nuclear spiral in the central parsecs. Here we study the role and fate of these fi...
