− σ ∗ relation for normal galaxies ?

چکیده
In order to examine the relationship between the black hole mass MBH and stellar velocity dispersion σ∗ in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we study two effects which may cause the uncertainty of black hole mass estimates for radio-loud AGNs: the relativistic beaming effect on the observed optical continuum radiation and the orientation effect on broad emission line width. After correcting these two effects in black hole mass calculations, we re-examine the MBH − σ[OIII] relation for a sample of radio-loud and radio-quiet AGNs compiled from the literatures, and find the MBH − σ[OIII] relation in radio-loud AGNs still deviate from that in nearby normal galaxies and radio-quiet AGNs. We also find there is no significant correlation between radio jet power and narrow [OIII] line width, indicating no strong interaction between radio jet and narrow line region. The deviation from MBH − σ∗ relation in radio-loud AGNs may be intrinsic, or the [OIII] line width is not a good indicator of σ∗ for radio-loud AGNs.

MBH–σ relation for a Complete Sample of Soft X-ray Selected AGNs
We present black hole mass–bulge velocity dispersion relation for a complete sample of 75 soft X-ray selected AGNs: 43 broad line Seyfert 1s and 32 narrow line Seyfert 1s. We use luminosity and FWHM(Hβ) as surrogates for black hole mass and FWHM([OIII]) as a surrogate for the bulge velocity dispersion. We find that NLS1s lie below the MBH–σ relation of BLS1s, confirming the Mathur et al. (2001)...
متن کاملThe size distribution of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We use a complete sample of about 140,000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to study the size distribution of galaxies and its dependence on their luminosity, stellar mass, and morphological type. The large SDSS database provides statistics of unprecedented accuracy. For each type of galaxy, the size distribution at given luminosity (or stellar mass) is well described by a log-n...
متن کاملFundamental Planes, and the Barless Mbh-σ Relation, for Supermassive Black Holes
The residuals about the standard Mbh-σ relation correlate with the effective radius, absolute magnitude, and Sérsic index of the host bulge. Although, it is noted here that the elliptical galaxies do not partake in such correlations. Moreover, it is revealed that barred galaxies (with their relatively small, faint, and low stellar concentration bulges) can deviate from the Mbh-σ relation by δ l...
متن کاملBlack hole mass and velocity dispersion of narrow line region in active galactic nuclei and narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies
Controversy regarding whether Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) follow the same black hole — galactic bulge relation as normal galaxies has been raised by Mathur et al. (2001) and Ferrarese et al. (2001). In this paper, the correlation between the black hole mass and the velocity dispersion of the narrow line region, indicated by the [OIII] line width for a heterogeneous sample of NLS1s, i...
متن کاملThe Σ − L Correlation in Nearby Early-type Galaxies
Early-type galaxy velocity dispersions and luminosities are correlated. The correlation estimated in local samples (≤ 100 Mpc) differs from that measured more recently in the SDSS. We show that this is also true for the ENEAR sample if galaxy luminosities are estimated using distances which have been corrected for peculiar motions. We then show that, because the estimate of the ‘true’ distance ...
