A 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 کاملSpectroscopic Evidence for a Supermassive Black Hole in Ngc 4486b
The stellar kinematics of the low-luminosity elliptical galaxy NGC 4486B have been measured in seeing σ∗ = 0. 22 with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) and Subarcsecond Imaging Spectrograph. Lauer and collaborators have shown that NGC 4486B is similar to M31 in having a double nucleus. Here we show that it also resembles M31 in its kinematics. Like M31, NGC 4486B rotates fairly rapidly ...
متن کاملA Compact Supermassive Binary Black Hole System
We report on the discovery of a supermassive binary black hole system in the radio galaxy 0402+379, with a projected separation between the two black holes of just 7.3 pc. This is the closest black hole pair yet found by more than two orders of magnitude. These results are based upon recent multi-frequency observations using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) which reveal two compact, variable...
متن کاملStudy of Outflows from Supermassive Black Holes
Our recent Chandra, XMM-Newton and Suzaku observations of several high redshift quasars have revealed the presence of massive outflows of highly ionized, high-metallicity material driven from near the black hole (a few gravitational radii, rg) with velocities of up to 0.7c (see Figure 1; Chartas et al. 2002, ApJ, 579, 169; Chartas et al. 2003 ApJ, 595, 85; Chartas et al. 2007, AJ, 133, 1849; Sa...
متن کاملSupermassive black hole binary mergers
Massive merging black holes will be the primary sources of powerful gravitational waves at low frequency, and will permit to test General Relativity if we identify candidate galaxies that are close to a binary black hole merger. In this paper we show that for a typical range of mass ratios of the two black holes the final stage of the merger is preceded by a rapid precession and a subsequent sp...
