Abstract:

SINFONI is the adaptive optics assisted near infrared integral field spectrometer for the VLT. Following its commissioning in 2004 it is now available to the ESO community as a facility instrument. In this contribution, we present some highlights from the SINFONI GTO program, including: infrared flares and 3D stellar dynamics of the Galactic Center, kinematics and physical properties of active galactic nuclei, and properties and dynamics of high-redshift galaxies.
