Sub-arcsec Keck mid-infrared imaging and Spitzer spectroscopy reveal a spatially compact mid-infrared source which displays tentative evidence for variability. The F$_{\\nu}\\propto\\nu^{-1.2}$ spectral energy distribution is suggestive of an advection dominated accretion flow. The absence of dust features over the 5-40 micron range make it unlikely that thermal dust emission dominates the mid-infrared luminosity. We also detect the presence of molecular hydrogen in emission which is asymmetrically redshifted by ~500-1000 km/s from the systemic velocity of the galaxy. Since the forbidden, low ionization lines in this galaxy are at the systemic velocity, we suggest that the molecular hydrogen emission arises from a rotating molecular gas structure surrounding the nuclear black hole at a distance of ~1 pc.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-12-27T00:07:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "peaked balmer emission lines", "molecular gas structure surrounding", "systemic velocity", "molecular hydrogen emission arises", "thermal dust emission dominates" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 735582 } } }
