Radio emission from early-type (E and S0) galaxies usually signals the presence of a central supermassive black hole. If radio luminosity and black-hole mass are correlated, then we can use the large sample of radio galaxies observed in the…
We make use of two empirical relations between the black hole mass and the global properties (bulge luminosity and stellar velocity dispersion) of nearby elliptical galaxies, to infer the mass of the central black hole (M_BH) in low…
There exists a well known relation between the mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the center of galaxies and their bulge mass or central velocity dispersion. This suggests a co-evolution between SMBH and their galaxy hosts. Our…
The central black-hole masses of a sample of radio-loud quasars are estimated by using the data of $H_{\beta}$ line-width and the optical continuum luminosity. The vast majority of the quasars in this sample have black-hole masses larger…
Black-hole masses of the highest redshift quasars (4 <~ z <~ 6) are estimated using a previously presented scaling relationship, derived from reverberation mapping of nearby quasars, and compared to quasars at lower redshift. It is shown…
We estimated black hole masses for 9 Seyfert 1 and 13 Seyfert 2 galaxies in the Palomar and CfA bright Seyfert samples using the tight correlation between black hole mass and bulge velocity dispersion. Combining other 13 Seyfert 1s and 2…
Black holes with masses M_BH~10^{8.5} M_Sun dominate the accretion history of the Universe. These black hole masses are typical of those found in radio-selected galaxies today, suggesting that the giant elliptical hosts of low redshift…
Using recently published estimates - based on high spatial resolution spectroscopy - of the mass M_{BH} of nuclear black holes for a sample of nearby galaxies, we explore the dependence of galaxy nucleus emissivity at various wavelengths on…
With recent data from the \emph{James Webb Space Telescope} (JWST), it is possible to calculate the mass of the supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies, and the stellar mass of the host galaxies at $z \gtrsim 5$. In this work, we…
The correlation between black hole masses and stellar velocity dispersions provides an efficient method to determine the masses of black holes in active galaxies. We obtained optical spectra of a Compact-Steep-Spectrum (CSS) galaxy 4C…
The results of analysis of HST I-band imaging of a sample of 41 radio galaxies spanning three orders of magnitude in radio luminosity at redshift z~0.5 are presented. The full sample is drawn from four complete, low-frequency selected radio…
It has been suggested that optically thin and geometrically thick accretion flows are responsible for the observed radio/X-ray luminosity relation of the X-ray bright galactic nuclei. If this is the case then central supermassive black hole…
We examine the black hole mass - galaxy bulge relationship in high-redshift QSOs. Black hole masses are derived from the broad emission lines, and the host galaxy stellar velocity dispersion sigma is estimated from the widths of the radio…
We have determined the central velocity dispersion and surface brightness profiles for a sample of powerful radio galaxies in the redshift range 0.06<z<0.31, which were selected on the basis of their young radio source. The optical hosts…
We present the results of a study which uses the 3CRR sample of radio-loud active galactic nuclei to investigate the evolution of the black-hole:spheroid mass ratio in the most massive early-type galaxies from 0<z<2. Radio-loud unification…
There is overwhelming evidence for the presence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the centers of most nearby galaxies. The mass estimates for these remnant black holes from the stellar kinematics of local galaxies and the quasar…
The central black-hole masses of a sample of 30 luminous quasars are estimated using H-beta FWHM measurements from a combination of new and previously-published nuclear spectra. The quasar black-hole mass estimates are combined with…
The mass function of super-massive black holes in our cosmic neighborhood is required to understand the statistics of their activity and consequently the origin of the ultra high energy particles. We determine a mass function of black hole…
We present a sample of $X$-ray selected candidate black holes in 51 low mass galaxies with $z\le 0.055$ {and mass up to $10^{10}$ M$_{\odot}$} obtained by cross-correlating the NASA-SLOAN Atlas with the 3XMM catalogue. {We have also…
The recently discovered tight correlation between supermassive black hole mass and central velocity dispersion suggests a possibility to estimate the SMBH mass from the measured central velocity dispersion. However, for most AGNs it is…
