| We processed the hydro/radiative transfer AGN simulations by Schartmann et al. 2014 through various versions of the METIS simulator in the month of November 2017. The model was intended to show the circum-nuclear material on parsec scale (for comparisons with VLTI observations) and the original pixel scale was increased 10x so that a pixel corresponded to 2 milli-arcseconds. This is astronomically "allowed" as the total extent of the AGN-heated dust is much larger than what is seen by VLTI and is expected to look similarly filamentary on larger scales. This is what the model image looks like (left: log scaled; right: sqrt scaled, FoV: 0.6" x 0.6"): | We processed the hydro/radiative transfer AGN simulations by Schartmann et al. 2014 through various versions of the METIS simulator in the month of November 2017.
