-SMBH typically measure at 0.1% of the mass of the galaxy
-difficult because you need to see the stars move around the blackhole
-you can only do this to 200 million light years…not very far
-NGC1277, average speed of 400 km/s
-mass 17 billion solar masses, the galaxy 100 billion solar masses, which is 15% the mass of the galaxy!….crazy
-is this galaxy a ‘freak’ or is this a normal galaxy. perhaps this means growth can be independent
