Abstract

Subarcsecond two-dimensional imagery and spectrometry of the stellar component of galactic nuclei show complex systems, with multiple components and the possible presence of supermassive black-holes. Strategies for observation with the VLT, both with and without adaptive optics, are discussed, in terms of presently planned or future instrumentation.
