Scientific paper

We present an interferometric N-band study of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) inside the archetype Seyfert type 2 galaxy NGC 1068. From a speckle analysis of VISIR (the Very Large Telescope (VLT) Imager and Spectrometer in the InfraRed) images taken in burst mode, we attempt to establish the link between dust in the vicinity of the central engine -- first observed with MIDI (the Mid-InfrareD Interferometer of VLT) -- and larger scales (ionisation cone/narrow line region).
