Abstract

Abstract Observations in the 1 µm to 1 cm wavelength band give important information on the physical processes occurring in and immediately around active galactic nuclei. Concentrating on recent results on ionic, atomic, and molecular emission lines, we discuss as examples the first ISO results on the nature of ultra-luminous infrared galaxies, and near-infrared and millimeter measurements of the central 100 parsecs of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068.
