We describe ongoing searches for intermediate-mass black holes with M BH≈ 10–105 M⊙.
We review a range of search mechanisms, both dynamical and those that rely on accretion …

The total mass of a galaxy cluster is one of its most fundamental properties. Together with
the redshift, the mass links observation and theory, allowing us to use the cluster population …

The H0LiCOW collaboration inferred via strong gravitational lensing time delays a Hubble
constant value of km s− 1 Mpc− 1, describing deflector mass density profiles by either a …

Gravitational potential fluctuations driven by bursty star formation can kinematically 'heat
up'dark matter at the centres of dwarf galaxies. A key prediction of such models is that, at a …

Supermassive black holes (BHs) have been found in 85 galaxies by dynamical modeling of
spatially resolved kinematics. The Hubble Space Telescope revolutionized BH research by …

Dynamical searches reveal central dark objects with masses $\sim 10^ 6$ to $10^{9.5}
$\msun in the Galaxy,\m31,\mm32, M87, NGC 3115, NGC 3377, NGC 4258, and NGC 4594 …

Since the 1960s, when the connection between quasar energetics and supermassive black
holes was first established, galactic nuclei have remained objects of intense interest to …

We derive an accurate mass estimator for dispersion-supported stellar systems and
demonstrate its validity by analysing resolved line-of-sight velocity data for globular clusters …

When interpreted within the standard framework of Newtonian gravity and dynamics, the
kinematics of stars and gas in dwarf galaxies reveals that most of these systems are …

This is the first paper in our series on the combined analysis of the Dynamics and stellar
Population (DynPop) for the MaNGA survey in the final SDSS Data Release 17 (DR17) …
