| We propose to image the nucleus of NGC 1068 (component S1) with a factor of 2.5{3 better sensitivity than achieved previously by Gallimore et al. To date, there has been no con rmed detection of a thermal torus in any other Seyfert galaxy, despite numerous attempts at such detections. We will image S1 in order to determine its possible connection to the weak, unremarked 5 features seen in the Gallimore et al. image. This will test two hypotheses: (1) the putative torus actually is the inner segment of a curving jet; or (2) the features beyond the end of the identi ed torus are the beginning of the jet, possibly started by a wind rising o the surface of the torus. |
