Feeding AGN: New results from the NUGA survey

The NUGA project is a high-resolution (0.5″−1″) CO survey of low luminosity AGN including the full sequence of activity types (Seyferts, LINERs and transition objects). NUGA aims to systematically study the different mechanisms for gas fueling of AGNs in the Local Universe. In this paper we discuss...

Summary:The NUGA project is a high-resolution (0.5″−1″) CO survey of low luminosity AGN including the full sequence of activity types (Seyferts, LINERs and transition objects). NUGA aims to systematically study the different mechanisms for gas fueling of AGNs in the Local Universe. In this paper we discuss the latest results of this recently completed survey, which now includes newly acquired subarcsec resolution observations for all targets of the sample. The large variety of circumnuclear disk morphologies found in NUGA galaxies (m = 1, m = 2 and stochastic instabilities) is a challenging result that urges the refinement of current dynamical models. In this paper we report on new results obtained in 4 study cases for NUGA: NGC 4826, NGC 7217, NGC 4579 and NGC 6951.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
