ALMA Reveals an Inhomogeneous Compact Rotating Dense Molecular Torus at the NGC 1068 Nucleus

We present the results of our ALMA Cycle 4 high-spatial-resolution (0 04-0 07) observations, at HCN J = 3-2 and HCO+ J = 3-2 lines, of the nucleus of NGC 1068, the nearby prototypical type 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN). Our previous ALMA observations identified the compact emission of these lines...
