Is there really a black hole at the center of NGC 4041? Constraints from gas kinematics

We present Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph spectra of the Sbc spiral galaxy NGC 4041, which were used to map the velocity field of the gas in its nuclear region. We detect the presence of a compact (r ≃ 0″.4 ≃ 40 pc), high surface brightness, rotating nuclear disk cospatial with a nuclear star...
