NIRSpec Observations of Centaurus-A: a GTO program proposal
Abstract
At less than 4 Mpc distance the radio galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) is the prime example to study the supermassive black hole and its influence on the environment in great detail. This peculiar, edge-on elliptical galaxy is well known by its dust lane, wrapped disk and powerful jets and lobes that extend quite far our of the central region. Furthermore it is the closest radio galaxy and a perfect example of the need of multi-wavelength observations to properly understand the underlying physical processes at play in galaxies.
