Description
We analyze Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the CO(6-5) molecular line and the 432 μm continuum emission from the circumnuclear disk (CND) and the putative torus of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068. The kinematics of both the CND and the torus show non-circular motions that are caused by outflows from the AGN. We compare the ALMA data with high-resolution near-infrared integral field spectroscopy of the molecular H_2 1-0S(1) line and some ionized species obtained with the VLT, and investigate the multiphase nature of the different ISM components of this prototypical AGN-driven outflow.
