Probing the Low-Mass End of the Black Hole Mass Function via a Study of Faint Local Spiral Galaxies

Probing the Low-Mass End of the Black Hole Mass Function via a Study of Faint Local Spiral Galaxies

We present an analysis of the pitch angle distribution function (PADF) for nearby galaxies and its resulting black hole mass function (BHMF) via the well-known relationship between pitch angle and black hole mass. Our sample consists of a subset of 74 spiral galaxies from the Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy...
