Description

Studying gas and stellar kinematics in the circumnuclear regions of nearby AGNs at spatial scales of <10pc provides insights into how gas is influenced and transported toward the supermassive black hole (SMBH). We present the gas kinematics from cold molecular gas observed with radio interferometer and stellar kinematics derived from stellar absorptions in near-IR AO-assisted IFU data. Using spherically-aligned Jeans Anisotropic Modelling (JAM) on stellar kinematics, we construct a detailed mass model, consisting of V and Vrms. By comparing the cold gas kinematics with the mass model, we aim to directly test black hole accretion rate prescriptions (e.g., modified Bondi–Hoyle) at radii of ~100 pc around the SMBH. If a specific object has detected a broad gas outflow in the center, we also aim to constrain the mass outflow rate and kinetic outflow power.
