The cosmological constant and dark energy

PJE Peebles, B Ratra - Reviews of modern physics, 2003 - APS
Physics welcomes the idea that space contains energy whose gravitational effect
approximates that of Einstein's cosmological constant, Λ; today the concept is termed dark …

A relationship between nuclear black hole mass and galaxy velocity dispersion

K Gebhardt, R Bender, G Bower… - The Astrophysical …, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe a correlation between the mass M bh of a galaxy's central black hole and the
luminosity-weighted line-of-sight velocity dispersion σ e within the half-light radius. The …
