MBH - σ relation in SDSS flat-spectrum radio quasars

چکیده
The relationship between the black hole mass and velocity dispersion indicated with [O III] line width is investigated for a sample of 87 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) selected from SDSS DR3 quasar catalogue. We found the Mbh − σ[OIII] relation is deviated from Tremaine et al. relation for nearby inactive galaxies, with a larger black hole mass at given velocity dispersion. There is no strong evidence of cosmology evolution in Mbh − σ[OIII] relation up to z ∼ 0.8. A significant correlation between the [O III] luminosity and Broad Line Region (BLR) luminosity is found. When transferring the [O III] luminosity to Narrow Line Region (NLR) luminosity, the BLR luminosity is, on average, larger than NLR one by about one order of magnitude. We found a strong correlation between the synchrotron peak luminosity and NLR luminosity, which implies a tight relation between the jet physics and accretion process.

The radio luminosity, black hole mass and Eddington ratio for quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We investigate the MBH−σ∗ relation for radio-loud quasars with redshift z < 0.83 in Data Release 3 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The sample consists of 3772 quasars with better model of Hβ and [O III] lines and available radio luminosity, including 306 radio-loud quasars, 3466 radio-quiet quasars with measured radio luminosity or upper-limit of radio luminosity (181 radio-quiet quasar...
متن کاملThe MBH − Lrad Relation for Flat-Spectrum Quasars
In this proceedings we summarize our recent letter (Jarvis & McLure 2002) where we suggested that by correcting for the inevitable effects of inclination, the black-hole masses of flat-spectrum quasars (FSQ) with intrinsically powerful radio jets are confined, virtually exclusively, to MBH > 108 M⊙. After considering realistic Doppler boosting factors, many of the FSQ would be more accurately c...
متن کاملOn the black-hole mass – radio luminosity relation for flat-spectrum radio-loud quasars
A new analysis of the connection between black-hole mass and radio luminosity in radioselected flat-spectrum quasars (FSQ) is presented. In contrast to recent claims in the literature, we find no evidence that the black-hole masses of radio-selected FSQ are systematically lower that those of luminous optically-selected radio-loud quasars. The black-hole masses of the FSQ are estimated via the v...
متن کاملThe relationship between radio luminosity and black-hole mass in optically-selected quasars
Using a sample of more than 6000 quasars from the Sloan digital sky survey (SDSS) we compare the black-hole mass distributions of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars. Based on the virial black-hole mass estimator the radio-loud quasars (RLQs) are found to harbour systematically more massive black holes than radio-quiet quasars (RQQs) with very high significance (≫ 99.99%), with mean black-hole m...
متن کاملSelf-regulated Growth of Supermassive Black Holes in Galaxies as the Origin of the Optical and X-ray Luminosity Functions of Quasars
We postulate that supermassive black-holes grow in the centers of galaxies until they unbind the galactic gas that feeds them. We show that the corresponding self-regulation condition yields a correlation between black-hole mass (Mbh) and galaxy velocity dispersion (σ) as inferred in the local universe, and recovers the observed optical and X-ray luminosity functions of quasars at redshifts up ...
