of energies and cosmological ages. In 2000, Gemini’s first release of data on the core region of our Milky Way (see page 6) gave us a glimpse into the quiescent end of the galactic-core energy continuum. However, in galaxies where central supermassive black holes are on a feeding frenzy, the environment is a violent, energetic caldron of activity. These active galactic nuclei (AGN) are laboratories for high-energy astrophysics and an area where Gemini’s capabilities, especially in the infrared and using high spatial resolution integral field spectroscopy, provide a window into the inner workings of AGN. Over the past decade, astronomers using Gemini have been treated to some of the highest-resolution, multi-dimensional views of AGN available. These views capture the voracious eating habits and dynamics of supermassive black holes that can grow to several billions of times the mass of our Sun.
