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…
Probing the Variation of the Inner Surface-Brightness Profile of Nuclear Star Clusters on the Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Mass Measurements Using Mock Observations of ELT/MICADO and HARMONI
Tinh Q. T. Le, Dieu D. Nguyen, Hai N. Ngo +3
Simulations of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBH) in dwarf galaxies within 10 Mpc that host bright nuclear star clusters (NSCs), prime candidates for IMBH formation, using the Hi…
Dynamical Evidence for a Billion Solar Mass Black Hole in Galaxy NGC 4061 from ALMA CO(2-1) Kinematics
Dieu D. Nguyen, Long Q. T. Nguyen, Elena Gallo +6
We present the first robust dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass in the massive early-type galaxy NGC 4061 using high-spatial-resolution ALMA observatio…
The Supermassive Black Hole in the Nearby Spiral Galaxy M81: A Robust Mass from JWST/NIRSpec Stellar Dynamics
Dieu D. Nguyen, Tuan N. Le, Michele Cappellari +9
Despite its proximity, the mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the spiral galaxy M81 (NGC~3031) has remained uncertain, with previous dynamical measurements being unrelia…
Extending the Frontier of Spatially-Resolved Supermassive Black Hole Mass Measurements to at : Simulations with ELT/MICADO High-Resolution Mass Models and HARMONI Integral-Field Stellar Kinematics
Dieu D. Nguyen, Michele Cappellari, Tinh Q. T. Le +8
Current spatially resolved kinematic measurements of supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses are largely confined to the local Universe (distances Mpc). We investigate…
Measuring the Central Dark Mass in NGC 4258 with JWST/NIRSpec Stellar Kinematics
Dieu D. Nguyen, Hai N. Ngo, Michele Cappellari +8
We present a new stellar dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4258, a critical benchmark for extragalactic mass measurem…
Simulating intermediate black hole mass measurements for a sample of galaxies with nuclear star clusters using ELT/HARMONI high spatial resolution integral-field stellar kinematics
Dieu D. Nguyen, Michele Cappellari, Hai N. Ngo +8
Understanding the demographics of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, M) in low-mass galaxies is key to constraining black hole seed format…
