Secular Evolution in Disk Galaxies: The Growth of Pseudobulges and Problems for Cold Dark Matter Galaxy Formation
John Kormendy, David B. Fisher
We review internal secular evolution in galaxy disks -- the fundamental process by which isolated disks evolve. We concentrate on the buildup of dense central features that look li…
Scaling Laws for Dark Matter Halos in Late-Type and Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
John Kormendy, K. C. Freeman
Maximum disk mass models fitted to galaxy rotation curves are used to show that dark matter (DM) halos in late-type and dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies satisfy well defined scalin…
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 Stellar-Dynamical Search for Supermassive Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei
John Kormendy
The robustness of stellar-dynamical black hole (BH) mass measurements is illustrated using 7 galaxies that have results from independent groups. Derived masses have remained consta…
The Nuclear Disk in the Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4486A
John Kormendy, Karl Gebhardt, F. Duccio Macchetto +1
Many ellipticals contain nuclear disks of dust and gas. Some ellipticals contain nuclear disks of stars that are distinct from the rest of the galaxy. We show that the dwarf E2 gal…
Supermassive Black Holes in Disk Galaxies
John Kormendy
Dynamical searches find central dark objects - candidate supermassive black holes (BHs) - in at least 34 galaxies. The demographics of these objects lead to the following conclusio…
