Context

  • I wanted a space to collate the notes/changes/things left to do related to the N315 draft. This point will likely be a bit all over the place/bouncing around.

  • Comparison Figure:

    • I've included the NGC3258 errors in quadrature (had previously just been the statistical error) to be consitent with the other galaxies whose errors are added in quadrature.
    • LinMix fit now includes both the NGC4751 points but with their errors inflated by sqrt(2) in both directions. The fit hardly changed as we expected, and the equation is up to date in the text.
    • NGC4751 x-axis point:
      • I'm having a hard time figuring out what Dominiak+24 is quoting for the stellar mass for NGC4751. In their plot, NGC4751 has the same stellar Mbh determination of 2e9 Msun as NGC6861, which they claim is from Rusli+13.
      • In Rusli+13, the stellar Mbh is listed as 1.4e9 and 2.0e9 for NGC4751 and NGC6861 respectively. The distances for these galaxies are the same in both works.
      • Note that the x-axis value for these galaxies in Dominiak+24 is log10(Mbh) = 9.3 --> 2e9 Msun or so. The y-axis seems to be good between the two.
      • I think that their highest purple point should be at x = 9.15 or so (which would be 1.4e9 Msun)
  • Radial Moment Plot abs(r):

    • Tried one quick version of the radial moment Figure if we wanted to us this instead:
