The effect of radiation pressure on virial black hole mass estimates and the case of Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies
Alessandro Marconi, David Axon, Roberto Maiolino +5
We consider the effect of radiation pressure from ionizing photons on black hole (BH) mass estimates based on the application of the virial theorem to broad emission lines in AGN s…
Supermassive black holes in the Sbc spiral galaxies NGC 3310, NGC 4303 and NGC 4258
Guia Pastorini, Alessandro Marconi, Alessandro Capetti +12
We present new Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) observations of three spiral galaxies, NGC 4303, NGC 3310 and NGC 4258. The bright optical emission lines H $6564…
Adaptive Optics Assisted 3D spectroscopy observations for black hole mass measurements
Guia Pastorini
The very high spatial resolution provided by Adaptive Optics assisted spectroscopic observations at 8m-class telescopes (e.g. with SINFONI at the VLT) will allow to greatly increas…
The supermassive black hole in Centaurus A: a benchmark for gas kinematical measurements
A. Marconi, G. Pastorini, F. Pacini +5
We present new HST/STIS observations of Centaurus A. [SIII] 9533A was used to study the kinematics in the nuclear region with a 0.1" spatial resolution. The STIS data and the VLT/I…
