Description
Based on new SINFONI observations, ten black hole masses occupying the high-mass regime of the M-sigma relation are presented, which are more massive than predicted by recent M-sigma and M-Lum relations. The effect of dark matter inclusion on the black hole masses is explored. In seven of the ten galaxies and in about 15 other galaxies we identified shallow central cores and the properties of these cores are discussed.
