The mass of the black hole in Centaurus A from SINFONI AO-assisted integral-field observations of stellar kinematics

We present a determination of the mass of the supermassive black hole (BH) and the nuclear stellar orbital distribution of the elliptical galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A) (NGC 5128) using high-resolution integral-field observations of the stellar kinematics. The observations were obtained with SINFONI (Sp...
