The E3 Galaxy M32

• Small, inactive companion of Andromeda nebula

• Many studies suggest presence of central BH

• Best previous study ground-based long-slit data and HST/FOS aperture together with Schwarzschild axisymmetric dynamical models (van der Marel et al. 1998)

• Results:

  • (M/L)I=2.0 ± 0.3
  • MBH=(3.4 ± 0.7)x106 Mo
  • 55o < i < 90o
