Fig. 2

a The RGB image of Circinus using the AMI/JWST observations and green contours of the 4.3μm AMI/JWST observations as shown in Fig. 1. The orientations of the pc-scale jet (white dashed line), kpc-scale jet (white dashed line), and disk (white dotted-dashed line) are shown. b–d The single-dish continuum observations at 4.3 μm (L-band) and 10 μm (N-band) with the VLT28 in the central 60 × 60 pc2. The orange rectangle shows the 14 × 14 pc2 within the 60 × 60 pc2 large FOV images. e–h The interferometric continuum observations at 12.0 μm with MATISSE/VLTI29 and at 700, 890, and 1200 μm with ALMA25. i–l The interferometric observations25,40 of several gas tracers: [CI] 3P1-0P1, CO(6-5), H36α, and HCN(3-2). The gray contours show the morphology of the color scale images in each panel. The beam of each observation (red ellipse) and a 2 pc legend are shown.
