A Quintet Of Black Hole Mass Determinations
(2009-04)
We report five new measurements of central black hole masses based on Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and on axisymmetric, three-integral, ...
The Black Hole Mass And The Stellar Ring In NGC 3706
(2014-02)
We determine the mass of the nuclear black hole (M) in NGC 3706, an early-type galaxy with a central surface brightness minimum arising from an apparent stellar ring, which is misaligned with respect to the galaxy's major ...
Is There A Black Hole In NGC 4382?
(2011-11)
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph observations of the galaxy NGC 4382 (M85) and axisymmetric models of the galaxy to determine mass-to-light ratio (Gamma(V)) and central black ...
The M-Sigma And M-L Relations In Galactic Bulges, And Determinations Of Their Intrinsic Scatter
(2009-06)
We derive improved versions of the relations between supermassive black hole mass (MBH) and host-galaxy bulge velocity dispersion (sigma) and luminosity (L; the M-sigma and M-L relations), based on 49 M-BH measurements and ...
The Black Hole Mass And Extreme Orbital Structure In NGC 1399
(2007-12)
The largest galaxies, and in particular central galaxies in clusters, offer unique insight into understanding the mechanism for the growth of nuclear black holes. We present Hubble Space Telescope kinematics for NGC 1399, ...
