These capabilities will introduce a revolutionary shift in our understanding of the origin and evolution of supermassive black holes by enabling more precise black hole mass measurements in a mass range that is unreachable today. We present simulations and predictions of the observations of nuclei that will be made with the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) and the adaptive optics assisted integral-field spectrograph IRIS, which is capable of diffraction-limited spectroscopy from Z band (0.9{mu}m) to K band (2.2{mu}m). These simulations, for the first time, use realistic values for the sky, telescope, adaptive optics system, and instrument to determine the expected signal-to-noise ratio of a range of possible targets spanning intermediate mass black holes of ~10^4^M_{sun}_ to the most massive black holes known today of >10^10^M_{sun}_. We find that IRIS will be able to observe Milky Way mass black holes out the distance of the Virgo Cluster, and will allow us to observe many more of the brightest cluster galaxies where the most massive black holes are thought to reside. We also evaluate how well the kinematic moments of the velocity distributions can be constrained at the different spectral resolutions and plate scales designed for IRIS. We find that a spectral resolution of ~8000 will be necessary to measure the masses of intermediate mass black holes. By simulating the observations of galaxies found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7, we find that over 10^5^ massive black holes will be observable at distances between 0.005<z<0.18 with the estimated sensitivity and angular resolution provided by access to Z-band (0.9{mu}m) spectroscopy from IRIS and the TMT adaptive optics system. These observations will provide the most accurate dynamical measurements of black hole masses to enable the study of the demography of massive black holes, address the origin of the M_BH_-{sigma} and M_BH_-L relationships, and evolution of black holes through cosmic time.2014AJ....147...93Dhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/147/93CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toV/139 : The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 9 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2012)II/294 : The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 7 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2009)J/ApJ/664/226 : Nuker law parameters of early-type galaxies (Lauer+, 2007)J/ApJ/662/808 : Cusp radius in luminous elliptical galaxies (Lauer+, 2007)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/147/93https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/147/93http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/147/93https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/147/93https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/147/93http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/147/93GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/AJ/147/93/table3 (Signal-to-Noise Ratio simulations for nearby bright early-type galaxies)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/147/93/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/147/93/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/147/93/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true151.3082417-7.71858060.0055555555555555566/242 1006 2169 2251 2374 2409 4212 4447 4829 4990 5075 5196 5394 5599 5608 5618 6087 6093 6103 6138 7213 7214 7241 7287 7355 7374 7479 7655 7658 7986 8173 8193 8195 8196 8266 8442 8520 9368 9471 10311 10379 10523 10612 10924 11026 11129 11262 11389 11738 11802 11824 11951 12018 12019 12025 13128 13336 13401 16543 17286 17472 17606 17612 17662 17779 17801 17810 18016 18168 18184 18209 18241 18269 18324 18325 18935 19506 19611 19797 19854 20021 20031 20707 21125 22577 22746 22826 24610 24848 24850 24951 25042 25100 25647 25768 26055 26125 26313 26803 27079 27186 27238 27480 27486 27515 27586 27595 27604 27652 27714 27718 27719 27730 27738 27742 27743 27765 27773 27857 27907 27913 27914 27936 27938 27944 27948 28040 28045 28142 28221 28251 28360 28463 28495 28524 32482 33624 33954 34307 34493 34533 34535 34540 34542 35055 36062 36153 36156 36231 36247 36623 36785 37429 38356 38830 38842 39077 40252 40373 40425 40952 43451 43503 43626 43627 43803 43823 43835 43877 43939 43940 43950 44000 44166 44247 44812 44995 45636 45981 46043 46077 46568 46615 46754 47517 47541 47583 48645https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/AJ/147/93?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/AJ/147/93/table3Signal-to-Noise Ratio simulations for nearby bright early-type galaxiesSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
