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…
We investigate the relationship between the mass of central supermassive black holes and the radio loudness of active galactic nuclei. We use the most recent calibrations to derive virial black hole masses for samples of radio loud QSOs for…
The distribution of radio to optical fluxes in AGN is bimodal. The physical origin for this bimodality is not understood. In this Letter I describe observational evidence, based on the Boroson & Green PG quasar sample, that the radio…
Based on the measured sizes of broad line region of the reverberation-mapping AGN sample, two new empirical relations are introduced to estimate the central black hole masses of radio-loud high-redshift ($z > 0.5$) AGNs. First, using the…
A new analysis of the connection between black-hole mass and radio luminosity in radio-selected flat-spectrum quasars (FSQ) is presented. In contrast to recent claims in the literature, we find no evidence that the black-hole masses of…
Estimating black hole masses of blazars is still a big challenge. Because of the contamination of jets, using the previously suggested size -- continuum luminosity relation can overestimate the broad line region (BLR) size and black hole…
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…
An empirical relation between the broad line region (BLR) size and optical continuum luminosity is often adopted to estimate the BLR size and then the black hole mass of AGNs. However, optical luminosity may not be a good indicator of…
The mass of massive black holes in quasar cores can be deduced using the typical velocities of Hb-emitting clouds in the Broad Line Region (BLR) and the size of this region. However, this estimate depends on various assumptions and is…
We revisit the issue of whether radio loudness in AGN is associated with central black hole mass, as has been suggested in the literature. We present new estimates of black hole mass for 295 AGN (mostly radio-quiet), calculating their radio…
Because of the contamination of jets, using the size -- continuum luminosity relation can overestimate the broad line region (BLR) size and black hole mass for radio-loud AGNs. We propose a new relation between the BLR size and $H_{\beta}$…
Massive black holes (BHs) are detected in the centers of many nearby galaxies are linearly correlated with the luminosity of the host bulge (spheroid), the black hole mass being about 0.1% of the stellar mass. In active galaxies, the BH…
Much progress has been made in measuring black hole (BH) masses in (non-active) galactic nuclei using the tight correlation between stellar velocity dispersions (sigma) in galaxies and the mass of their central BH. The use of this…
Whether the mass of supermassive black hole ($M_\mathrm{BH}$) is directly linked to the quasar radio luminosity remains a long-debated issue, and understanding the role of $M_\mathrm{BH}$ in the evolution of quasars is pivotal to unveiling…
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 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…
We have studied the relationship between the AGN radio-loudness and the mass of the central black-hole by using the ~190 type 1 AGN selected in the XMM-Newton Bright Survey (XBS). We find that radio-loud AGNs are much more frequent at high…
We use a homogeneous sample of about 300, 0.3 <~ z <~ 3, radio-loud quasars drawn from the FIRST and 2dF QSO surveys to investigate a possible dependence of radio activity on black-hole mass. By analyzing composite spectra for the…
We used the widths of H$\beta$ and [OIII] emission lines to investigate the black hole--bulge relation in radio-loud AGNs, radio-quiet AGNs and NLS1s. The central black hole mass, $M_{bh}$, is estimated from the H$\beta$ line width and the…
