26 Conclusions First map of stellar velocities of the NSC Foreground star removal has no big influence on the results Result of black hole mass fit from Jeans model is largely consistent with black hole mass from direct measurements Black hole mass is too low à do we underestimate black hole masses in other Galaxies? Radially varying M/L can fit the required black hole mass à constrain the M/L with stellar population analysis using KMOS data Oct. 1, 213 Anja Feldmeier 26
