Accessing the innermost regions of Active Galactic Nuclei

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Very-long-baseline interferometry can image the parsec-scale structure of radio jets, but the accretion disk close to the black hole remains invisible. One way to probe this accretion flow is provided by X-ray flux density monitoring and spectroscopy. Here we report on preliminary results of a multi-band campaign on NGC1052 with the goal of combining both approaches to access to the innermost regions of this active galaxy and to establish a connection between the relativistic jets and the accretion region.
