Scientific paper

Near-infrared color maps and images in H_2 emission will be used to trace hot and cold dense gas in 10 Seyfert galaxies. Geometry and opacity of obscuring material will be traced through IR-color maps and the H_2 emission maps. Comparison of the dense gas distribution between the Seyferts will allow us to test unification schemes and models for AGN evolution. Inflow and fueling rates to the AGN can be estimated depending upon the morphology. If a bar is present inflow rates will be estimated from the torque on the gas from the bar. If a disk is present, inflow rates will be estimated from the thickness of the disk. Interaction of the disk with the activity in the central regions will be traced by H_2 emission from a hot dense molecular component.
