Gas kinematics from spectroscopy with a wide slit: detecting nuclear black holes
Motivated by STIS observations of more than 50 nearby galactic nuclei, we consider long-slit emission-line spectra when the slit is wider than the instrumental PSF, and the target has arbitrarily large velocity gradients. The finite width of the slit generates complex patterns in the spectra that ca...
