Abstract

Some galaxies harbour at their very center an extremely compact and energetic region, emitting at all wavelengths a huge power, and called Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN).I will first describe the most accepted model for this region and will present a set of results on one archetype of AGN, NGC1068, obtained thanks to near-infrared images with extremely fine details that give some hints on the complex structure of those regions.

We are looking forward to welcoming all those who are interested in attending.
