A Quintet of Black Hole Mass Determinations
We report five new measurements of central black hole masses based on STIS and WFPC2 observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and on axisymmetric, three-integral, Schwarzschild orbit-library kinematic models. We selected a sample of galaxies within a narrow range in velocity dispersion that cover a range of galaxy parameters (including Hubble type and core/power-law surface density profile)...
متن کاملThe Connection between Jets, Accretion Disks, and Black Hole Mass in Blazars
The properties of relativistic radio jets are thought to be closely connected with the properties of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei. We explore this issue using a sample of 35 blazars with very-long baseline observations, for which we can estimate the kinetic powers of their relativistic jets, the bolometric luminosity of their accretion disks, and the masses of their black holes. Co...
متن کاملBlack-hole Mass Measurements
The applicability and apparent uncertainties of the techniques currently available for measuring or estimating black-hole masses in AGNs are briefly summarized.
متن کاملThe Fermi blazars divide
Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) and BL Lac objects detected in the first three months of the Fermi survey neatly separate in the γ–ray spectral index vs γ–ray luminosity plane. BL Lac objects are less luminous and have harder spectra than broad line blazars. We suggest that this division has its origin in the different accretion regimes of the two classes of objects. Using the γ–ray luminos...
متن کاملThe Virial Factor and Biases in Single Epoch Black Hole Mass Determinations
Accurately determining the masses of supermassive black holes is crucial to understand their evolution and the establishment of their relationship with their host galaxy properties. Beyond the local universe, the single epoch mass estimation method provides a simple procedure to estimate black hole masses in large spectroscopic samples of type-1 active galactic nuclei. The method assumes virial...
