Abstract The aim of this work is to the study active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their central stellar bulges in the near infrared (K and H bands, when possible) with adaptive optics.We intend to study the structure of AGN, their location within the bulge, the the emission of the continuous and dust emission, the structure and kinematics of the NLR (Narrow Line Region) and the nebular structure of molecular hydrogen, through molecular lines of H2, studying their kinematics, temperature distribution and origin of excitation. We also want to get the map of the properties of stellar kinematics of the bulge, such as velocity, velocity dispersion and Gauss-Hermite moments of h3 and h4. Finally we intend to determine the stellar populations, particularly young population to map indicators of recent starburst phenomena. When possible, we intend to measure the mass of the black hole and compare it with the literature. | |
