摘要:

超大质量黑洞(SMBH)的生长似乎与球状体的形成密切相关。有一个迫切需要获得更好的统计SMBH质量,因为现有的样本优先向早期型星系非常大质量SMBH加权。有了这个动机,我们开始了一个项目,旨在测量所有附近星系(D<100 Mpc)中心可能存在的SMBH的质量上限,这些星系的STIS/G750 M光谱在HST档案中可用。这些上限将通过对在约0.1”(R<50 pc)孔径上观察到的中心发射线宽([NII]、Halpha和[SII])进行建模而得出。在这里,我们提出了我们的初步结果的子样本的76个凸起。

英文摘要:

The growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) appears to be closely linked with the formation of spheroids. There is a pressing need to acquire better statistics on SMBH masses, since the existing samples are preferentially weighted toward early-type galaxies with very massive SMBHs. With this motivation we started a project aimed at measuring upper limits on the mass of the SMBHs that can be present in the center of all the nearby galaxies (D<100 Mpc) for which STIS/G750M spectra are available in the HST archive. These upper limits will be derived by modeling the central emission-line widths ([NII], Halpha and [SII]) observed over an aperture of ~0.1" (R<50 pc). Here we present our preliminary results for a subsample of 76 bulges.
