Abstract (from CDS):

We have detected in ALMA observations CO J=6→5 emission from the nucleus of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068. The low-velocity (up to ±70 km s^-1 relative to systemic) CO emission resolves into a 12 x 7 pc structure, roughly aligned with the nuclear radio source. Higher-velocity emission (up to ±400 km s^-1) is consistent with a bipolar outflow in a direction nearly perpendicular (≃80deg) to the nuclear disk. The position-velocity diagram shows that in addition to the outflow, the velocity field may also contain rotation about the disk axis. These observations provide compelling evidence in support of the disk-wind scenario for the active galactic nucleus obscuring torus.
