We obtained adaptive-optics assisted SINFONI observations of the central regions of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC5419 with a spatial resolution of 0.2 arcsec ($approx 55$ pc). NGC5419 has a large depleted stellar core with a radius of 1.58 arcsec (430 pc). HST and SINFONI images show a point source located at the galaxys photocentre, which is likely associated with the low-luminosity AGN previously detected in NGC5419. Both the HST and SINFONI images also show a second nucleus, off-centred by 0.25 arcsec ($approx 70$ pc). Outside of the central double nucleus, we measure an almost constant velocity dispersion of $sigma sim 350$ km/s. In the region where the double nucleus is located, the dispersion rises steeply to a peak value of $sim 420$ km/s. In addition to the SINFONI data, we also obtained stellar kinematics at larger radii from the South African Large Telescope. While NGC5419 shows low rotation ($v < 50$ km/s), the central regions (inside $sim 4 , r_b$) clearly rotate in the opposite direction to the galaxys outer parts. We use orbit-based dynamical models to measure the black hole mass of NGC5419 from the kinematical data outside of the double nuclear structure. The models imply M$_{rm BH}=7.2^{+2.7}_{-1.9} times 10^9$ M$_{odot}$. The enhanced velocity dispersion in the region of the double nucleus suggests that NGC5419 possibly hosts two supermassive black holes at its centre, separated by only $approx 70$ pc. Yet our measured M$_{rm BH}$ is consistent with the black hole mass expected from the size of the galaxys depleted stellar core. This suggests, that systematic uncertainties in M$_{rm BH}$ related to the secondary nucleus are small.
Scaling relations between supermassive black hole mass, M_BH, and host galaxy properties are a powerful instrument for studying their coevolution. A complete picture involving all of the black hole scaling relations, in which each relation is consist
The binding energy liberated by the coalescence of supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries during galaxy mergers is thought to be responsible for the low density cores often found in bright elliptical galaxies. We use high-resolution $N$-body and Mon
We investigate the correlations between the black hole mass $M_{BH}$, the velocity dispersion $sigma$, the bulge mass $M_{Bu}$, the bulge average spherical density $rho_h$ and its spherical half mass radius $r_h$, constructing a database of 97 galaxi
Relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei represent one of the most powerful phenomena in the Universe. They form in the surroundings of the supermassive black holes as a by-product of accretion onto the central black hole in active galaxies. The f
The presence of black holes (BHs) at the centers of dwarf elliptical galaxies (dEs) has been argued both theoretically and observationally. Using archival HST/WFPC2 data, we found the Virgo cluster dwarf elliptical galaxy VCC128 to harbor a binary nu
