Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei. Ii. Calibration of the Black Hole Mass–velocity Dispersion Relationship for Active Galactic Nuclei
We calibrate reverberation-based black hole (BH) masses in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by using the correlation between BH mass,MBH, and bulge/spheroid stellar velocity dispersion, . We use new measurements of for six AGNs and published velocity dispersions for 10 others, in conjunction with improved reverberationmapping results, to determine the scaling factor required to bring reverberation...
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 ...
متن کاملThe Black Hole-Host Galaxy Relation in Active Galactic Nuclei
The masses of the central black holes of Active Galactic Nuclei estimated by the reverberation virial technique seem to be significantly smaller than predicted from the black hole mass-bulge luminosity relation for massive black holes detected by kinematic methods in less active and normal galaxies. We reexamine the relation for updated data and suggest a few reasons that may cause this discrep...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Black Hole Mass and Spin in Active Galactic Nuclei
Observations show that the central black hole in galaxies has a mass M only ∼ 10 of the stellar bulge mass. Thus whatever process grows the black hole also promotes star formation with far higher efficiency. We interpret this in terms of the generic tendency of AGN accretion discs to become self–gravitating outside some small radius Rsg ∼ 0.01− 0.1 pc from the black hole. We argue that mergers ...
