A 22 Billion M⊙ Black Hole in Holmberg 15A with Keck KCWI Spectroscopy and Triaxial Orbit Modeling by Emily R. Liepold, Chung-Pei Ma, Jonelle L. Walsh

“…Both SMBHs lie significantly above the mean M _BH – σ scaling relation. Repeating the orbit modeling with the axisymmetrized version of TriOS produces worse fits to the KCWI kinematics and increases M _BH to (2.55 ± 0.20) × 10 ^10 M _⊙ , which is still significantly below the M _BH = (4.0 ± 0.8) × 10 ^10 M _⊙ reported in a prior axisymmetric study of H15A.…”
