Evidence of a supermassive black hole in the galaxy NGC 1023 from the nuclear stellar dynamics

We analyze the nuclear stellar dynamics of the SBO galaxy NGC 1023, utilizing observational data both from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope and from the ground. The stellar kinematics measured from these long-slit spectra show rapid rotation (V ≈ 70 km s-1 a...
