SUMMARY:Tori\, disks\, and winds — the AGN dust emission at high angular
  resolution - Sebastian Hoenig\, University of Southampton

DESCRIPTION:Mass accretion onto supermassive black holes occurs on scales 
 beyond the diffraction limit of any single optical/infrared (IR) telescope
 . Thanks to the resolution power of the VLT Interferometer\, we are now ta
 pping into the outer accretion structure of active galactic nuclei (AGN) 
 — commonly referred to as the “dusty torus”. New and surprising resu
 lts challenge the current paradigm: the bulk of the mid-IR emission is not
  originating from the torus\, but extends far into the outflow region of t
 he AGN\, ranging from sub-parsec scales to 100s pc. I will give an overvie
 w of the state of high-resolution IR observations of AGN and discuss the n
 ew emerging disk+wind paradigm in the context of AGN unification and the p
 hysical processes that regulate accretion and feedback.
