The nuclear orbital distribution in galaxies as a fossil record of black hole formation from integral-field spectroscopy

In the past decade, most effort in the study of supermassive black holes (BHs) has been devoted to measuring their masses. This led to the finding of the tight M-BH-sigma relation, which indicates the existence of strong links between the formation of the BHs and of their host spheroids. Many scenar...
