Study of the molecular absorption by CO in the nucleus of NGC 5128, the parent galaxy of the strong radio source Centaurus A has revealed the existence of a circumnuclear disk of Cen A. The absorption lines of various molecular species of Cen A are examined, and the results show the possibility of finding out how an active galaxy nucleus is fed by the surrounding galaxy.
