A Comparative Analysis of Virial Black-hole Mass Estimates of Moderate-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei Using Subaru/fmos
We present an analysis of broad emission lines observed in moderate-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs), typical of those found in X-ray surveys of deep fields, with the aim to test the validity of singleepoch virial black hole mass estimates. We have acquired near-infrared (NIR; 1.0 − 1.8 μm) spectra of AGNs up to z ∼ 1.8 in the COSMOS and Extended Chandra Deep Field-South Survey, with th...
متن کاملDo Moderate-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei Suppress Star Formation?
The growth of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies are thought to be linked, but the precise nature of this symbiotic relationship is still poorly understood. Both observations and simulations of galaxy formation suggest that the energy input from active galactic nuclei (AGN), as the central supermassive black hole accretes material and grows, heats the interstellar material and sup...
متن کاملLow-Luminosity Accretion in Black Hole X-ray Binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei
At luminosities below a few percent of Eddington, accreting black holes switch to a hard spectral state which is very different from the soft blackbody-like spectral state that is found at higher luminosities. The hard state is well-described by a two-temperature, optically thin, geometrically thick, advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF) in which the ions are extremely hot (up to 10 K near ...
متن کاملRapidly spinning massive black holes in active galactic nuclei: evidence from the black hole mass function
The comparison of the black hole mass function (BHMF) of active galactic nuclei (AGN) relics with the measured mass function of the massive black holes in galaxies provides strong evidence for the growth of massive black holes being dominated by mass accretion. We derive the Eddington ratio distributions as functions of black hole mass and redshift from a large AGN sample with measured Eddingto...
متن کاملThe Black Hole- Bulge Relations in Active Galactic Nuclei
We show that Massive Black Holes of AGNs follow the same approximately linear relation with the luminosity of the host spheroid (bulge) found in normal (quiescent) galaxies, with the black hole mass being 0.002 that of the bulge. We also demonstrate that Narrow line AGNs seem to have a significantly lower Mbh/Lbulge ratio, which implies a new strong correlation between Mbh/Lbulge and the width ...
