The Origin of the Intrinsic Scatter in the Relation between Black Hole Mass and Bulge Luminosity for Nearby Active Galaxies
We investigate the origin of the intrinsic scatter in the correlation between black hole mass (MBH) and bulge luminosity (Lbul) in a sample of 45 massive, local (z ∼< 0.35) type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We derive MBH from published optical spectra assuming a spherical broad-line region, and Lbul from detailed two-dimensional decomposition of archival optical Hubble Space Telescope image...
متن کاملObscured Active Galactic Nuclei and Obscured Accretion
Most of the local active galactic nucleus (AGN) population is obscured and much of the Xray background originates in obscured AGNs. The contribution of obscured accretion to the growth of massive black holes is discussed here. The recent identification of significant samples of the X-ray sources that dominate the X-ray background intensity has shown a redshift peak at 0.7–0.8, rather than the r...
متن کاملThe Locus of Highly Accreting AGNs on the MBH–σ Plane: Selections, Limitations, and Implications
We re-examine the locus of narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies on theMBH–σ (black hole mass–bulge velocity dispersion) plane in the light of the results from large new optically selected samples. We find that (1) soft X-ray selected NLS1s have a lower ratio of BH mass to σ [OIII] than broad line Seyfert 1 galaxies; this remains a robust statistical result contrary to recent claims otherwise; (2) opt...
متن کاملThe Spitzer Mid-infrared Agn Survey. Ii. the Demographics and Cosmic Evolution of the Agn Population
We present luminosity functions derived from a spectroscopic survey of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected from Spitzer Space Telescope imaging surveys. Selection in the mid-infrared is significantly less affected by dust obscuration. We can thus compare the luminosity functions of obscured and unobscured AGNs in a more reliable fashion than by using optical or X-ray data alone. We find that...
متن کاملBlack Hole – Bulge Relation for Narrow-Line Objects
It has been thought that narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies are likely to be in the early stages of the evolution of active galaxies. To test this suggestion, the ratios of the central massive black hole (MBH) mass to the bulge mass (Mbh/Mbulge) were estimated for 22 Narrow Line AGNs (NL AGNs). It is found that NL AGNs appear to have genuinely lower MBH/Bulge mass ratio (Mbh/Mbulge). The mean log(M...
