A Low - Mass Central Black Hole in the Bulgeless Seyfert 1 Galaxy Ngc 4395
NGC 4395 is one of the least luminous and nearest known type 1 Seyfert galaxies, and it also lacks a bulge. We present a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) I-band image of its nuclear region, and Keck high-resolution (∼ 8 km s−1) echelle spectra containing the Ca II near-infrared triplet. In addition to the unresolved point source, there is a nuclear star cluster of size r ≈ 3.9 pc; the upper limit o...
متن کاملA Supermassive Black Hole in the S0 Galaxy Ngc 3245
The S0 galaxy NGC 3245 contains a circumnuclear disk of ionized gas and dust with a radius of 1. 1 (or 110 pc), making it an ideal target for dynamical studies with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST ). We have obtained spectra of the nuclear disk with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, using an 0. 2-wide slit at five parallel positions. Measurements of the Hα and [N II] emission lines are ...
متن کاملThe black hole mass – galaxy age relation
We present evidence that there is a significant correlation between the fraction of a galaxy’s mass that lies in its central black hole and the age of the galaxy’s stellar population. Since the absorption line indices that are used to estimate the age are luminosity weighted, they essentially measure the time since the last significant episode of star formation in the galaxy. The existence of t...
متن کاملA Non-Parametric Estimate of the Mass of the Central Black Hole in the Galaxy
We estimate the mass of the central black hole in our Galaxy from stellar kinematical data published by Ghez et al. (1998) and Genzel et al. (2000). For this we develop a method, related to Merritt (1993), for non-parametrically reconstructing the mass profile and the stellar distribution function in the central region of the Galaxy from discrete kinematic data, including velocity errors. Model...
متن کاملUsing Multiwavelength Observations to Determine the Black Hole Mass and Accretion Rate in the Type 1 Seyfert Galaxy Ngc 5548
We model the spectral energy distribution of the type 1 Seyfert galaxy NGC 5548, fitting data from simultaneous optical, UV, and X-ray monitoring observations. We assume a geometry consisting of a hot central Comptonizing region surrounded by a thin accretion disk. The properties of the disk and the hot central region are determined by the feedback occurring between the hot Comptonizing region ...
