M ⊙ black hole in NGC 7052 from HST observations of the nuclear gas disk 1
We present a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) study of the nuclear region of the E4 radio galaxy NGC 7052, which has a nuclear disk of dust and gas. The Second Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WFPC2) was used to obtain B, V and I broad-band images and an Hα+[NII] narrow-band image. The images yield the stellar surface brightness profile, the optical depth of the dust, and the flux distribution of t...
متن کاملBlack hole thermodynamics from Euclidean horizon constraints.
To explain black hole thermodynamics in quantum gravity, one must introduce constraints to ensure that a black hole is actually present. I show that for a large class of black holes, such "horizon constraints" allow the use of conformal field theory techniques to compute the density of states, reproducing the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in a nearly model-independent manner. One standard string t...
متن کاملMeasuring supermassive black holes with gas kinematics : the active S 0 galaxy NGC 3998 ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
Context. We present results from a kinematical study of the gas in the nucleus of the active S0 galaxy NGC 3998 obtained from archival HST/STIS long-slit spectra. Aims. We analyzed the emission lines profiles and derived the map of the gas velocity field. The observed velocity curves are consistent with gas in regular rotation around the galaxy’s center. Methods. By modeling the surface brightn...
متن کاملMolecular gas in NGC 6946
We present imaging of molecular gas emission in the star-forming spiral galaxy NGC 6946. Our 12 CO(1-0) and 12 CO(3-2) images, made at 22 ′′ resolution with the IRAM 30-m and the Heinrich Hertz 10-m radio telescopes, are the most extensive observations of molecular gas in this galaxy and are among the most extensive observations of molecular gas in any spiral galaxy. The 12 CO(1-0) emission sho...
متن کاملThe Low End of the Supermassive Black Hole Mass Function: Constraining the Mass of a Nuclear Black Hole in Ngc 205 via Stellar Kinematics
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images and spectra of the nucleated dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 205 are combined with 3-integral axisymmetric dynamical models to constrain the massMBH of a putative nuclear black hole. This is only the second attempt, after M33, to use resolved stellar kinematics to search for a nuclear black hole with mass below 10 solar masses. We are unable to identify a best-fi...
