Unveiling the central parsec region of an AGN: the Circinus nucleus in the near infrared with the VLT
VLT J- to M\p-band adaptive optics observations of the Circinus Galaxy on parsec scales resolve a central bright Ks-band source with a FWHM size of 1.9 $\pm$ 0.6 pc. This source is only visible at wavelengths longward of 1.6 $\mu$m and coincides in position with the peak of the [Si VII]~2.48 $\mu$m...
