Supermassive black hole mass measurements for NGC 1300 and NGC 2748 based on HST emission-line gas kinematics

We present Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph emission-line spectra of the central regions of the spiral galaxies NGC 1300 and NGC 2748. From the derived kinematics of the nuclear gas we have found evidence for central supermassive black holes in both galaxies. The estimated mass of the black hole...
