Evidence for Massive Black Holes in Nearby Galactic Nuclei
Abstract
Masses of black holes in nearby galactic nuclei can be measured in a variety of ways, using stellar and gaseous kinematics. Reliable black hole masses are known for several dozen objects, so that demographic questions can start to be addressed with some confidence. Prospects for the near future are discussed briefly.
