    • The Black hole mass of NGC 4151: comparison of reverberation mapping and stellar dynamical measurements 

      Onken, Christopher; Valluri, Monica; Peterson, Bradley; Pogge, Richard; Bentz, Misty; Ferrarese, Laura; Vestergaard, Marianne; Crenshaw, Michael; Sergeev, Sergey; McHardy, Ian; Merritt, David; Bower, Gary; Heckman, Timothy; Wandel, Amri (American Astronomical Society - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007-11-20)
      We present a stellar dynamical estimate of the black hole (BH) mass in the Seyfert 1 galaxy, NGC 4151. We analyze ground-based spectroscopy as well as imaging data from the ground and space, and we construct 3-integral ...

    • Post-Newtonian simulations of super-massive black hole binaries in galactic nuclei 

      Berentzen, Ingo; Preto, Miguel; Merritt, David; Spurzem, Rainer (Wiley-VCH Verlag Berlin: Astronomische Nachrichten, 2008-12)
      We present some preliminary results from recent numerical simulations that model the evolution of super-massive black hole (SMBH) binaries in galactic nuclei. Including the post-Newtonian terms for the binary system and ...
