An Upper Limit on the Mass of a Central Black Hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud from the Stellar Rotation Field
H. Boyce, N. Lützgendorf, R. P. van der Marel +4
We constrain the possible presence of a central black hole (BH) in the center of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This requires spectroscopic measurements over an area of order a…
Improved Dynamical Constraints on the Mass of the central Black Hole in NGC 404
Dieu D. Nguyen, Anil C. Seth, Mark den Brok +6
We explore the nucleus of the nearby 10~early-type galaxy (ETGs), NGC~404, using Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/STIS spectroscopy and WFC3 imaging. We first present evid…
KMOS view of the Galactic Centre - II. Metallicity distribution of late-type stars
A. Feldmeier-Krause, W. Kerzendorf, N. Neumayer +5
Knowing the metallicity distribution of stars in the Galactic Centre has important implications for the formation history of the Milky Way nuclear star cluster. However, this distr…
On the rotation of nuclear star clusters formed by cluster-inspirals
Athanasia Tsatsi, Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti, Glenn van de Ven +3
Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) are commonly observed in the centres of most galactic nuclei, including our own Milky Way. While their study can reveal important information about the…
Masses and Scaling Relations for Nuclear Star Clusters, and their Coexistence with Central Black Holes
Iskren Y. Georgiev, Torsten Böker, Natan Leigh +2
Galactic nuclei typically host either a Nuclear Star Cluster (NSC, prevalent in galaxies with masses ) or a Massive Black Hole (MBH, common in galaxies wit…
