We present the Very Long Baseline Interferometry images and kinematics of water maser emission in six active galaxies: NGC 1194, NGC 2273, NGC 2960 (Mrk 1419), NGC 4388, NGC 6264 and NGC 6323. We use the Keplerian rotation curves of these six megamaser galaxies, plus a seventh previously published, to determine accurate enclosed masses within the central ~0.3pc of these galaxies, smaller than the radius of the sphere of influence of the central mass in all cases.</description><source format="bibcode">2011ApJ...727...20K</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/727/20</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/VIII/77">VIII/77 : HI spectral properties of galaxies (Springob+, 2005)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/530/A147">J/A+A/530/A147 : Megamaser detection in Seyfert galaxies (Ramolla+, 2011)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/695/276">J/ApJ/695/276 : Search for megamasers in type-2 AGNs (Bennert+, 2009)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/678/96">J/ApJ/678/96 : Extragalactic H2O masers (Braatz+, 2008)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/131/1236">J/AJ/131/1236 : Central black holes of spiral galaxies (Dong+, 2006)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/435/521">J/A+A/435/521 : Radio Sources in Low-Luminosity AGNs.
