Effects of anisotropy on the central dark mass in NGC 3115. New results from integral field spectroscopy

Abstract:

We report new results on the stellar kinematics and the mass distribution of the galaxy NGC 3115 based on NIR integral field spectroscopic data. Investigations using long slit spectroscopic data have yielded strong evidence for the presence of a massive dark object of ca. 10(9) solar masses. NGC 3115 therefore appears to be a prominent candidate for hosting a black hole in its center. We demonstrate that with integral field spectroscopy the rotation and velocity dispersion can be much better constrained by sampling in both spatial dimensions. This yields revised and more secure results.
