Dr. Mark Durré
I observe active galactic nuclei and their associated super-massive black holes, specifically looking at the dust and gas surrounding and obscuring the central engine. Using near infrared integral field spectroscopy, the kinematics of rotations and outflows, gas excitation, star formation and other physical parameters are determined. We use large telescopes with infra-red integral field spectroscopy with high spatial resolution, on samples of nearby AGN to resolve parsec-scale structures.
