John Kormendy,John Kormendy,Ralf Bender,Edward A. Ajhar,Alan Dressler,S. M. Faber,Karl Gebhardt,Carl J. Grillmair,Tod R. Lauer,Douglas O. Richstone,Scott Tremaine +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the discovery of a M• 109 M☉ massive dark object (MDO) in NGC 4594 is confirmed with higher resolution spectroscopy from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
Journal ArticleDOI
A test of a statistical model for the luminosities of bright cluster galaxies
Journal ArticleDOI
Maximum mass of objects that constitute unseen disk material
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that the mass of the individual unseen disk things which furnish unseen mass satisfies an inequality that is based on the demonstrated existence of a large number of wide binary stars in the Galaxy whose projected separations are as large as 0.1 pc.
Journal ArticleDOI
A correlation between central supermassive black holes and the globular cluster systems of early-type galaxies
Andreas Burkert,Scott Tremaine +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a power-law correlation between the mass M • of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and the number of globular clusters (GCs) was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maximum likelihood method for estimating the mass and period distributions of extra-solar planets
S. Tabachnik,Scott Tremaine +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the distribution of mass M and orbital period P of extra-solar planets, taking account of selection effects due to the limited velocity precision and duration of existing surveys.
