The central parsecs of Centaurus A: High Excitation Gas, a Molecular Disk, and the Mass of the Black Hole
We present two-dimensional gas-kinematic maps of the central region in Centaurus A. The adaptive optics (AO) assisted SINFONI data from the VLT have a resolution of 0.12" in K-band. The ionized gas species (Br_gamma, [FeII], [SiVI]) show a rotational pattern that is increasingly overlaid by non...
