Receipt: # 14924-3 ----- Attempting Submission 4 (Fri Mar 31 20:34:04 GMT 2017) ----- Increasing Diversity in Galaxies with Black Hole Mass Measurements Supermassive black holes (BHs) are fundamental components of galaxies, as demonstrated by the correlations between BH mass and large-scale galaxy properties. However, these scaling relations are based on BH mass measurements in a galaxy sample that is significantly biased relative to the overall galaxy population. We propose to enhance the diversity of galaxies with BH mass measurements using a combination of adaptive optics kinematics and HST imaging. Our proposal focuses on the first six galaxies observed as part of a recently approved Gemini Large Program to measure BH masses in 31 galaxies. HST imaging is required for (1) the creation of high-resolution stellar mass models, and (2) the determination of the adaptive optics point spread function; both are essential for measuring accurate BH masses. Immediate observations are needed to guide our approved future Gemini observations and to develop and refine our BH mass estimation pipeline. The six galaxies in the present proposal have a wide range of galaxy sizes and luminosities, significantly expanding the types of galaxies with known BH masses. This data is crucial for understanding the underlying physics driving the BH -- galaxy scaling relations and their scatter. Targets: All target positions were taken from NED, with the exception of NGC7242 (where the NED position is the centroid of a double galaxy), for this object we located the center of the galaxy in our Gemini images. Given our FOV, offsets of up to a few arcseconds in these central positions are not a problem, therefore we have not spent a lot of maximizing their accuracy. We expect the positions to be accurate ot ~1". Filters, Subarrays & Exposure Times: We are scheduling observations in 3 filters as detailed below. We are most concerned about achieving reasonable S/N in each pixel for our targets out to a radius of ~10". Our exposure times in F475W are ~850s (in 4 exposures), in F814W are ~750s (in 2 exposures), and in F160W are 37s (in 2 exposures). These exposure times will achieve S/N>50 per pixel near the center of our galaxies (overlapping with our kinematic data), and S/N>10 per pixel at a radius of 10", the radius out to which we need to accurately model the mass distribution of the galaxies. In order to get the required number of exposures (see dithering below), we use the UVIS-2K2C-SUB subarray, otherwise buffer dumps prevent us from taking the needed number of exposures. The F160W images are taken with WFC3 IR without subarrays, and will be used to constrain the larger scale structure of the galaxies; the S/N levels achieved in these observations are similar/higher than the S/N achieved per pixel than in the UVIS bands. Dithering: Resolution of the inner parts of the galaxies are of critical importance. Therefore, we have used four exposures in F475W and two exposures in F814W to enable the construction of Nyquist sampled images. These use the existing defined box/line dither patterns which include half-integer + a few pixel dithers. This achieves removal of hot pixels and recovery of the undersampled PSF. Saturation: Based on model fits to 2MASS data, our brighest targets have expected central SBs of mu_F475W~15 mag/arcsec^2 and mu_F814W~14 mag/arcsec^2; the saturation time for an individual exposures are ~2000s in both filters, while our individual exposures will be 5-10x shorter than this. Therefore even if our estimates are off a bit, we do not expect any of the galaxies to saturate. ORIENT restrictions for UGC11537: The nucleus of UGC11537 has a g=12.8 star just to the NW of the nucleus: it is at a radius of 6.75" and PA=-66 E of N. To avoid diffraction spikes from this star crossing the nucleus, we request that the star be placed so the diffraction spikes will be at least 10 degrees away from the line connecting the nucleus to the star. On the UVIS chip the optimal positions are therefore when the Y-axis of the chip is oriented at 24,114,204, and 294 degrees E of N. Because this axis is offset by 45 degrees from the U3 axis in which the ORIENT is defined, we have specified ORIENTs of +/- 20 degrees around 69, 159, 249, and 339 degrees. In addition, we've removed ORIENTS around 69 and 249, where bleeding of the star saturated star could overlap the nucleus.
