The size of NGC 4151 at 11.2 µm
Abstract
The size of the emission region of NGC 4151 at 11.2 µm has been measured to be 0.16" + 0.04" (lσ). This size is in agreement with that expected from thermal emission from dust grains heated by a central luminosity source, but is inconsistent with nonthermal emission.
