The nuclear stellar core, the hot dust source, and the location of the nucleus of NGC 1068

We present new near-infrared speckle and adaptive optics imaging and integral field spectroscopy of the nuclear region of NGC 1068. Ninety-four percent of the K-band light in the central 1" originates from a ≤30 milliarcsecond diameter source whose position we determine to coincide within ± 0&#...
