Title: A chromatic investigation into the dusty cores of active galaxies

Abstract:
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are thought to be key players in galaxy 
evolution through feedback processes that trigger and quench star 
formation though the mechanisms behind this is an open question. To get 
a clearer picture of how AGN influence their hosts, we need to 
understand the structure of AGN themselves. Until the advent of long 
baseline optical interferometry, the spatial scales of the inner AGN 
dust and hot gas could only be probed indirectly and it is only even 
more recently, with improved instrumentation, that we can start to 
create detailed chromatic images of these structures. However, this 
unprecedented detail brings unique challenges in interpretation.

I will present an overview of how our understanding of the dusty 
structures in the central parsecs of AGN have changed in recent years 
followed by our own attempts to build a more complete chromatic model of 
this region. Finally, I will discuss how this central structure relates 
to the wider galaxy and what we can do with new and upcoming 
instrumentation, such as JWST and the ELT, to link these scales.

Short biography:
James Leftley  is a 4th year post-doctoral researcher at the Universite 
Cote d'Azur (UniCA) - Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur (OCA) in the 
Laboratoire Lagrange, Nice, France.
He graduated from the University of Southampton in the UK in 2020. His 
research focuses on AGN at high angular resolution, primarily with 
optical interferometry and spectroscopy in the IR and mm regimes.
