Papers
- The Demography of Massive Dark Objects in Galaxy CentersThe Astronomical Journal · 1998 · 4,023 citations
We construct dynamical models for a sample of 36 nearby galaxies with Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ) photometry and ground-based kinematics. The models assume that each galaxy is axisymmetric, with a two-integral distribution function, arbitrary inclination angle, a position-independent…
- A Relationship between Nuclear Black Hole Mass and Galaxy Velocity DispersionThe Astrophysical Journal · 2000 · 3,672 citations
We describe a correlation between the mass M bh of a galaxy's central black hole and the luminosity-weighted line-of-sight velocity dispersion σ e within the half-light radius. The result is based on a sample of 26 galaxies, including 13 galaxies…
