Ground-based detection of circumnuclear Keplerian disks of ionized gas in early-type disk galaxies
We demonstrate the possibility of detecting mass concentrations (down to the level of 5 x 10(7) M.) in the center of galaxies with ground-based optical telescopes properly equipped, using Keplerian gaseous disks as probes. We predict that the high spatial resolution of HST equipped with STIS will al...
