Samenvatting
NGC 1266 is a nearby field galaxy observed as part of the
ATLAS3D survey (Cappellari et al. 2011). NGC 1266 has been
shown to host a compact (<200 pc) molecular disk and a mass-loaded
molecular outflow driven by the AGN (Alatalo et al. 2011). Very Long
Basline Array (VLBA) observations at 1.65 GHz revealed a compact
(diameter <1.2 pc), high brightness temperature continuum source
most consistent with a low-level AGN origin. The VLBA continuum source
is positioned at the center of the molecular disk and may be responsible
for the expulsion of molecular gas in NGC 1266. Thus, the candidate
AGN-driven molecular outflow in NGC 1266 supports the picture in which
AGNs do play a significant role in the quenching of star formation and
ultimately the evolution of the red sequence of galaxies.
