VLBI Imaging of Water Maser Emission from the Nuclear Torus of NGC 1068

We have made the first VLBI synthesis images of the H 2 O maser emission associated with the central engine of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068. Emission extends about ±300 km s -1 from the systemic velocity. Images with sub-milliarcsecond angular resolution show that the redshifted emission lies along a... View More
