Summary[edit]

| Description |
English: An unassuming galaxy with an active nucleus hosting a black hole of a relatively low mass. With these observations, astronomers sought to characterize the galaxy's distance, morphology, the orbits of stars along the disk, and its globular cluster population. Each of these properties can be used together to help measure the mass of the black hole. It turns out that it is not very easy to measure such a thing, so it is best to try measuring it many different ways to see how closely they all match up.
The Host Galaxy of the Low Mass Black Hole in UGC 06728 Orange: WFC3/IR F160W Cyan: WFC3/UVIS F814W Blue: WFC3/UVIS F547M North is 45.27° clockwise from up. |
