Coevolution (Or Not) of Supermassive Black Holes and Host Galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, supermassive black holes (BHs) have been found in 85 galaxies by dynamical modeling of spatially resolved kinematics, and it has been shown that BHs and bulges coevolve by regulating each other's growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

The slope of the black hole mass versus velocity dispersion correlation

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the range of slopes arises mostly due of sys- tematic differences in the velocity dispersions used by different groups for the same galaxies, and that one significant component of the difference results from Ferrarese & Merritt's extrapolation of central velocity dispersion to re= 8( re is the effective radius) using an empirical formula.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detailed structural decomposition of galaxy images

TL;DR: GALFIT as mentioned in this paper is a two-dimensional fitting algorithm designed to extract structural components from galaxy images, with emphasis on closely modeling light profiles of spatially well-resolved, nearby galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. I. The Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole

Kazunori Akiyama, +406 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Event Horizon Telescope was used to reconstruct event-horizon-scale images of the supermassive black hole candidate in the center of the giant elliptical galaxy M87.
