The black hole mass distribution in early-type galaxies: cusps in HST photometry interpreted through adiabatic black hole growth
R. P. van der Marel
The surface brightness profiles of early-type galaxies have central cusps. Two characteristic profile types are observed with HST: `core' profiles have a break at a resolved radius…

Evidence for a 3 x 10^8 solar mass black hole in NGC 7052 from HST observations of the nuclear gas disk
R. P. van der Marel, F. C. van den Bosch
We present an HST study of the nuclear region of the E4 radio galaxy NGC 7052, which has a nuclear disk of dust and gas. The WFPC2 was used to obtain B, V and I broad-band images a…
