Figure 4.29 The observed velocity profiles of NGC 2329 for each of the three observed<br />

slit positions. The velocities are shown shaded accord<strong>in</strong>g to the relative signal-tonoise<br />

of each spectrum, formal errors from the fit are also <strong>in</strong>dicated (see Chapter 3).<br />

The three solid l<strong>in</strong>es show model velocity profiles for no black hole, a 1 × 10 8 M⊙<br />

black hole <strong>and</strong> a 9 × 10 8 M⊙ (the steeper l<strong>in</strong>es from models with the greatest black<br />

hole mass). See text for details of the models. The dashed vertical l<strong>in</strong>es give a rough<br />

approximation of the radius of <strong>in</strong>fluence of a black hole based on the mass estimate<br />

from the M• − σ relation <strong>and</strong> the size of the r<strong>and</strong>om motions observed.<br />
