- W4321276273 abstract "The three-dimensional intrinsic shape of a galaxy and the mass of the central supermassive black hole provide key insight into the galaxy's growth history over cosmic time. Standard assumptions of a spherical or axisymmetric shape can be simplistic and can bias the black hole mass inferred from the motions of stars within a galaxy. Here we present spatially-resolved stellar kinematics of M87 over a two-dimensional $250mbox{$^{primeprime}$} times 300mbox{$^{primeprime}$}$ contiguous field covering a radial range of 50 pc to 12 kpc from integral-field spectroscopic observations at the Keck II Telescope. From about 5 kpc and outward, we detect a prominent 25 $mathrm{km~s}^{-1}$ rotational pattern, in which the kinematic axis (connecting the maximal receding and approaching velocities) is $40^circ$ misaligned with the photometric major axis of M87. The rotational amplitude and misalignment angle both decrease in the inner 5 kpc. Such misaligned and twisted velocity fields are a hallmark of triaxiality, indicating that M87 is not an axisymmetrically shaped galaxy. Triaxial Schwarzschild orbit modeling with more than 4000 observational constraints enabled us to determine simultaneously the shape and mass parameters. The models incorporate a radially declining profile for the stellar mass-to-light ratio suggested by stellar population studies. We find that M87 is strongly triaxial, with ratios of $p=0.845$ for the middle-to-long principal axes and $q=0.722$ for the short-to-long principal axes, and determine the black hole mass to be $(5.37^{+0.37}_{-0.25}pm 0.22)times 10^9 M_odot$, where the second error indicates the systematic uncertainty associated with the distance to M87." @default.
