Cross-checking SMBH mass estimates in NGC 6958-I. Stellar dynamics from adaptive optics-Assisted MUSE observations

Supermassive black hole masses ( M BH ) can dynamically be estimated with various methods and using different kinematic tracers. Different methods have only been cross-checked for a small number of galaxies and often show discrepancies. To understand these discrepancies, detailed cross-comparisons of additional galaxies are needed. We present the first part of our cross-comparison between stellar-And gas-based M BH estimates in the nearby fast-rotating early-Type galaxy NGC 6958. The measurements presented here are based on ground-layer adaptive optics-Assisted Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) science verification data at around 0 . 6 spatial resolution. The spatial resolution is a key ingredient for the measurement and we provide a Gaussian parametrization of the adaptive optics-Assisted point spread function for various wavelengths. From the MUSE data, we extracted the stellar kinematics and constructed dynamical models. Using an axisymmetric Schwarzschild technique, we measured an M BH of (3 . 6 + 2 . 7-2 . 4 ) × 10 8 M at 3 significance taking kinematical and dynamical systematics (e.g. radially varying mass-To-light ratio) into account. We also added a dark halo, but our data do not allow us to constrain the dark matter fraction. Adding dark matter with an abundance matching prior results in a 25 per cent more massive black hole. Jeans anisotropic models return M BH of (4 . 6 + 2 . 5-2 . 7 ) × 10 8 and (8 . 6 + 0 . 8-0 . 8 ) × 10 8 M at 3 confidence for spherical and cylindrical alignments of the velocity ellipsoid, respectively. In a follow-up study, we will compare the stellar-based M BH with those from cold and warm gas tracers, which will provide additional constraints for the M BH for NGC 6958, and insights into assumptions that lead to potential systematic uncertainty.

This paper documents the 16th data release (DR16) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS), the fourth and penultimate from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). This is the first release of data from the Southern Hemisphere survey of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2); new data from APOGEE-2 North are also included. DR16 is also notable as the final data release for the main cosmological program of the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), and all raw and reduced spectra from that project are released here. DR16 also includes all the data from the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey and new data from the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Survey programs, both of which were co-observed on eBOSS plates. DR16 has no new data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey (or the MaNGA Stellar Library "MaStar"). We also preview future SDSS-V operations (due to start in 2020), and summarize plans for the final SDSS-IV data release (DR17).
