mass determination black hole massive supermassive

Abstract:

Massive black holes correlate strongly with their host galaxy's properties. Considering these relations, one can determine their masses. Therefore we present several methods for mass determination with a high level of confidence as well as discuss our preliminary stages in constructing a mass function.
