Black Hole Mass Determinations From Orbit Superposition Models are Reliable
Douglas Richstone, Karl Gebhardt, Monique Aller +13
We show that orbit-superposition dynamical models (Schwarzschild's method) provide reliable estimates of nuclear black hole masses and errors when constructed from adequate orbit l…
The Nuclei of Late-type Spiral Galaxies
T. Boeker, C. -J. Walcher, H. -W. Rix +8
We summarize some recent results from our observational campaign to study the central regions of spiral galaxies of late Hubble type (Scd - Sm). These disk-dominated, bulgeless gal…
What Can We Learn from Nearby AGNs?
Luis C. Ho
This contribution reviews the properties of nuclear activity in nearby galaxies, with emphasis on their implications for the demography of nuclear black holes and the nature of acc…
Black Hole Demography from Nearby Active Galactic Nuclei
Luis C. Ho
A significant fraction of local galaxies show evidence of nuclear activity. I argue that the bulk of this activity, while energetically not remarkable, derives from accretion onto…
The Carnegie Observatories Astrophysics Series
Luis C. Ho
On the occasion of the Centennial of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Carnegie Observatories held a series of four astrophysics symposia in Pasadena from October 2002 to Feb…
