WISDOM Project – XIX. Figures of merit for supermassive black hole mass measurements using molecular gas and/or megamaser kinematics
The mass (MBH) of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) can be measured using spatially-resolved kinematics of the region where the SMBH dominates gravitationally. The most reliable measurements are those that resolve the smallest physical scales around the SMBHs. We consider here three metrics to compar...
