Dynamical modelling of the NIFS Vrms map of NGC 1277 assuming a cylindrically aligned velocity ellipsoid (fit cA1). The corner plot shows the probability distribution of the fitted parameters marginalised over either two parameters for the contour plots, and over one for the histograms. In the contour plots blue regions correspond to the three-sigma confidence level and white regions denote maximum likelihood. The top-right corner shows the Vrms map and the fit, with grey isophotes indicating F625W contours separated by 0.5 mag arcsec−2 and the black crosses indicating the centre of the bins. The indentations in the isophotes are a clear sign of the presence of the dust ring, whose near side was masked while producing the MGE models. The fitted parameters were q⋆ min, βz, α, and MBH, whereas the dark matter fraction fDM(6 kpc) was fixed to zero.
