Scientific paper

We have picked THE closet known Broad Line Radio Galaxy, Pictor A, to observe with the HST PC. Recent ground-based observations of this object show that it is an excellent candidate to use as a test case for theories which describe the nuclear "feeding" process in active galaxies. Its proximity and very bright nuclear emission-lines will allow us to use deconvolution techniques with the HST data to resolve the inner 40 to 50 pc near the nucleus where the transition between the VLBI-Broad Line Emission region and the Narrow Line Emission region takes place. We plan to follow up these test imaging observations with additional observations of this and other suitable, nearby radio galaxies during the second cycle of the HST program.
