Constraints from Galaxy-agn Clustering on the Correlation between Galaxy and Black Hole Mass at Redshift
We use the clustering of galaxies around distant active-galactic nuclei (AGN) to derive an estimate of the relationship between galaxy and black hole mass that obtained during the ancient quasar epoch, at redshifts 2 < ∼ z < ∼ 3, when giant black holes accreted much of their mass. Neither the mean relationship nor its scatter differs significantly from what is observed in the local universe, at...
متن کاملSupermassive Black Hole Mass Regulated by Host Galaxy Morphology
We investigated the relationship between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass and host starburst luminosity in Seyfert galaxies and Palomar-Green QSOs, focusing on the host galaxy morphology. Host starburst luminosity was derived from the 11.3 μm polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon luminosity. We found that the SMBH masses of elliptical-dominated host galaxies are more massive than those of disk-dom...
متن کاملThe black hole mass – galaxy age relation
We present evidence that there is a significant correlation between the fraction of a galaxy’s mass that lies in its central black hole and the age of the galaxy’s stellar population. Since the absorption line indices that are used to estimate the age are luminosity weighted, they essentially measure the time since the last significant episode of star formation in the galaxy. The existence of t...
متن کاملThe Black Hole-Host Galaxy Relation in Active Galactic Nuclei
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 detected by kinematic methods in less active and normal galaxies. We reexamine the relation for updated data and suggest a few reasons that may cause this discrep...
متن کاملThe big picture of AGN feedback: Black hole accretion and galaxy evolution in multiwavelength surveys
Large extragalactic surveys allow us to trace, in a statistical sense, how supermassive black holes, their host galaxies, and their dark matter halos evolve together over cosmic time, and so explore the consequences of AGN feedback on galaxy evolution. Recent studies have found significant links between the accretion states of black holes and galaxy stellar populations, local environments, and ...
