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…
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…
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…
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…
Detecting Intermediate-Mass Black Holes out to 20 Mpc with ELT/HARMONI: The Case of FCC 119
Hai N. Ngo, Dieu D. Nguyen, Tinh T. Q. Le +3
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs; ) play a critical role in understanding the formation of supermassive black holes in the early universe. In t…
