Abstract

We present preliminary measurements of the central black hole mass MBH, and stellar mass-to-light ratio M*/LR, in the Brightest Cluster Galaxy of Abell 2162 (A2162–BCG), using integral-field unit (IFU) data from OSIRIS on Keck 2 with laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS-AO). Our results demonstrate early success in an ongoing effort to obtain stellar dynamical measurements of MBH in nine BCGs using ground-based AO.
