The Black hole mass of NGC 4151: comparison of reverberation mapping and stellar dynamical measurements
(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 ...
Difficulties with recovering the masses of supermassive black holes from stellar kinematical data
(Astrophysical Journal, 2004-02-10)
We investigate the ability of three-integral, axisymmetric, orbit-based modeling algorithms to recover the parameters defining the gravitational potential (mass-to-light ratio and black hole mass M•) in spheroidal stellar ...
