Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies are generally thought to coevolve, so that the SMBH achieves up to about 0.2 to 0.5% of the host galaxy mass in the present day. The radiation emitted from the growing SMBH is…

Correlations between the mass of a supermassive black hole and the properties of its host galaxy (e.g., total stellar mass (M*), luminosity (Lhost)) suggest an evolutionary connection. A powerful test of a co-evolution scenario is to…

In the local universe, the masses of Super-Massive Black-Holes (SMBH) appear to correlate with physical properties of their hosts, including the mass of the dark-matter halos. At higher redshifts, we observe the growth of SMBHs indirectly…

We examine the relationship between the mass of present-day central supermassive black holes (SMBHs, $M_{\rm BH}$), and the stellar mass ($M_{\star}$) and halo mass ($M_{200}$) of their host galaxies in the EAGLE simulation, and find that…

The properties of quasar-host galaxies might be determined by the growth and feedback of their supermassive (SMBH, $10^{8-10}$ M$_{\odot}$) black holes. We investigate such connection with a suite of cosmological simulations of massive…

We demonstrate a strong correlation between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass and the global structure of ellipticals and bulges: more centrally concentrated bulges and ellipticals (higher Sersic index $n$) host higher-mass black holes.…

A potential mechanism is proposed to account for the fact that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in disk galaxies appear to be smaller than those in elliptical galaxies in the same luminosity range. We consider the formation of SMBHs by…

We have examined the relationship between supermassive black hole mass (M$_{BH}$) and the stellar mass of the host spheroid (M$_{sph,*}$) for a sample of 75 nearby galaxies. To derive the spheroid stellar masses we used improved 2MASS…

We study the correlations between Supermassive Black Holes (BH) and their host galaxies, using a sample of 83 BH masses collected from the most recent and reliable spatially resolved estimates available from the literature. We confirm the…

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are tightly correlated with their hosts but the origin of such connection remains elusive. To explore the cosmic build-up of this scaling relation, we present an empirically-motivated model that tracks…

A variety of host galaxy (bulge) parameters are examined in order to determine their predictive power in ascertaining the masses of the supermassive black holes (SMBH) at the centers of the galaxies. Based on a sample of 23 nearby galaxies,…

The origin of spin of low-mass supermassive black hole (SMBH) is still a puzzle at present. We here report a study on the host galaxies of a sample of radio-selected nearby ($z<0.05$) Seyfert 2 galaxies with a BH mass of $10^{6-7} M_\odot$.…

We report on the relation between the mass of supermassive black holes (SMBHs; M_BH) and that of hosting dark matter halos (M_h) for 49 z ~ 6 quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) with [CII]158um velocity-width measurements. Here, we estimate M_h…

We investigate the evolution of supermassive black hole mass (M_BH) and the host spheroid mass (M_sph) in order to track the history of the M_BH-M_sph relationship. The typical mass increase of M_BH is calculated by a continuity equation…

At low redshift, there are fundamental correlations between the mass of supermassive black holes (MBH) and the mass (Mbulge) and luminosity of the host galaxy bulge. We investigate the same relation at z>=1. Using virial mass estimates for…

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) probably control the growth of their host galaxies via feedback in the form of wide-angle wind-driven outflows. These establish the observed correlations between supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses and host…
