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.
