JWST interferometric imaging reveals the dusty disk obscuring the supermassive black hole of the Circinus galaxy
JWST aperture-masking images of Circinus show a 2x5 pc dust component along the torus funnel, a <1% outflow arc, and NIR holes where the equatorial disk blocks light, supporting a disk-fed AGN.
