| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A supermassive black hole is now believed to reside at the center of each galaxy quite ubiquitously. Mass accretion and ejection processes around this central black hole is likely to be closely related to the formation and evolution of the host galaxy. However, our understanding of the key structure at a central spatial scale of a few light years has seen only a slow progress, probably due to the critical lack of spatial resolutions. We aim to vastly advance our knowledge on this central structure with super high spatial resolutions given by near- and mid-infrared interferometers, revealing in particular the luminosity evolution of the structure.
