ALMA CO(2-1) Gas Dynamics in NGC 315: A Multi-Method Benchmark for Supermassive Black Hole Mass Measurement

Dieu D. Nguyen, Benjamin D. Boizelle, Hai N. Ngo +11

We present ALMA Cycle~7 \cotwo\ observations of the circumnuclear disk in NGC~315 at an angular resolution of $0\farcs230\times0\farcs175$, improving on past measurements and resol…
