The Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Hubble Constant

Joseph B. Jensen, John L. Tonry, Rodger I. Thompson +5

We measured infrared surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distances to an isotropically-distributed sample of 16 distant galaxies with redshifts reaching 10,000 km/s using the near…

Evidence of a Supermassive Black Hole in the Galaxy NGC 1023 from the Nuclear Stellar Dynamics

G. A. Bower, R. F. Green, R. Bender +13

We analyze the nuclear stellar dynamics of the SB0 galaxy NGC 1023, utilizing observational data both from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescop…

Observational Constraints on Higher Order Clustering up to $z\simeq 1

István Szapudi, Marc Postman, Tod R. Lauer +1

Constraints on the validity of the hierarchical gravitational instability theory and the evolution of biasing are presented based upon measurements of higher order clustering stati…

Black Hole Mass Estimates from Reverberation Mapping and from Spatially Resolved Kinematics

Karl Gebhardt, John Kormendy, Luis Ho +12

Black hole (BH) masses that have been measured by reverberation mapping in active galaxies fall significantly below the correlation between bulge luminosity and BH mass determined…

A Relationship Between Nuclear Black Hole Mass and Galaxy Velocity Dispersion

Karl Gebhardt, Ralf Bender, Gary Bower +12

We describe a correlation between the mass M_BH of a galaxy's central black hole and the luminosity-weighted line-of-sight velocity dispersion sigma_e within the half-light radius.…
