A Stellar Dynamical Measurement of the Black Hole Mass in the Maser Galaxy NGC 4258

Christos Siopis, Karl Gebhardt, Tod R. Lauer +13

We determine the mass of the black hole at the center of the spiral galaxy NGC 4258 by constructing axisymmetric dynamical models of the galaxy. These models are constrained by hig…
