The residuals about the standard M-sigma relation correlate with the effective radius, absolute magnitude, and Sersic index of the host bulge - although, it is noted here that the elliptical galaxies do not partake in such correlations.…
The correlations between Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies still defy our understanding from both the observational and theoretical perspectives. Here we perform pairwise residual analysis on the latest sample of…
We present an analysis of the optical nuclear spectra from the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in a sample of giant low surface brightness (GLSB) galaxies. GLSB galaxies are extreme late type spirals that are large, isolated and poorly evolved…
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…
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with dynamically measured masses have shown empirical correlations with host galaxy properties. These correlations are often the only method available to estimate SMBH masses and gather statistics for large…
We have utilized high-resolution optical Hubble Space Telescope images and deep, ground-based near-infrared images to examine the host-galaxies of 37 active galactic nuclei with reverberation-based black hole masses. Using two-dimensional…
We test the evolution of the correlation between black hole mass and bulge velocity dispersion (M$_{\rm BH}-\sigma$), using a carefully selected sample of 14 Seyfert 1 galaxies at $z=0.36\pm0.01$. We measure velocity dispersion from stellar…
Recent work has demonstrated that there is a tight correlation between the mass of a black hole and the velocity dispersion of the bulge of its host galaxy. We show that the model of Kauffmann & Haehnelt, in which bulges and supermassive…
We present a new relationship between central black hole (BH) mass and host galaxy stellar bulge mass extending to the lowest BH masses known in dwarf galaxies ($M_{\rm BH} \lesssim 10^{5} M_{\odot}$; $M_{\star} \sim 10^{9} M_{\odot}$). We…
Strong scaling relations between host galaxy properties (such as stellar mass, bulge mass, luminosity, effective radius etc) and their nuclear supermassive black hole's mass point towards a close co-evolution. In this work, we first review…
The relation between the mass of supermassive black holes located in the center of the host galaxies and the kinetic energy of random motions of the corresponding bulges can be reinterpreted as an age-temperature diagram for galaxies. This…
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…
Most elliptical galaxies contain central black holes, whose masses scale proportionally to the observed central velocity dispersions of the host galaxies according to the so-called Mbh-sigma relation. Here we discuss some consequences that…
This paper is the fourth in a series presenting (galaxy morphology, and thus galaxy formation)-dependent black hole mass, $M_{\rm BH}$, scaling relations. We have used a sample of 119 galaxies with directly-measured $M_{\rm BH}$ and host…
Using the latest sample of 48 spiral galaxies having a directly measured supermassive black hole mass, $M_{BH}$, we determine how the maximum disk rotational velocity, $v_{max}$ (and the implied dark matter halo mass, $M_{DM}$), correlates…
Using bonafide black hole (BH) mass estimates from reverberation mapping and the line ratio [Si VI]1.963$\mu$m/Br$\gamma_{\rm broad}$ as tracer of the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) ionizing continuum, we find a novel BH-mass scaling relation…
Several authors recently explored the Black-Hole mass (M_BH) vs. stellar velocity dispersion (sigma_*) relationship for Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s). Their results are more or less in agreement and seem to indicate that NLS1s fill…
The (supermassive black hole mass, $M_\text{BH}$)-(bulge stellar mass, $M_{\rm*,sph}$) relation is, obviously, derived using two quantities. We endeavor to provide accurate values for the latter via detailed multicomponent galaxy…
Galaxies become red and dead when the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) becomes massive enough to drive an outflow beyond the virial radius of the halo. We show that this final SMBH mass is larger than the final SMBH mass in the bulge…
We investigate the connection between supermassive black holes (SMBHs), their host galaxies, and large-scale dark-matter halos using broad-line X-ray AGN from the XMM--XXL and Stripe\,82X surveys, together with galaxies from VIPERS and…
