Multiwavelength Scaling Relations for Nuclei of Seyfert Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze an X-ray flux-limited, complete sample of 93 AGN at z<0.1, selected from the ROSAT Bright Survey. Two thirds of the sample are Seyfert 1 galaxies (Sy1) and one third are Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLSy1). We have obtained optical images of all objects. By modeling the host galaxy and the AGN central component we decompose the optical emission into nuclear, bulge and disk components, respectively. We find that the nuclear optical luminosity, thought to be associated with the accretion disk surrounding the active black hole, correlates with the X-ray luminosity, the radio luminosity and the black hole mass. Subject headings: galaxies: Seyfert — galaxies: nuclei — x-rays: galaxies

AGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Black Hole Mass and Velocity Dispersion in Seyfert 1 Galaxies
Black hole masses in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are difficult to measure using conventional dynamical methods, but can be determined using the technique of reverberation mapping. However, it is important to verify that the results of these different methods are equivalent. This can be done indirectly, using scaling relations between the black hole and the host galaxy spheroid. For this purpos...
متن کاملPox 52: a Dwarf Seyfert 1 Galaxy with an Intermediate-mass Black Hole
We describe new optical images and spectra of POX 52, a dwarf galaxy with an active nucleus that was originally detected in the POX objective-prism survey. While POX 52 was originally thought to be a Seyfert 2 galaxy, the new data reveal an emission-line spectrum very similar to that of the dwarf Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4395, with broad components to the permitted line profiles, and we classify PO...
متن کاملBlack Holes in Pseudobulges and Spheroidals: a Change in the Black Hole-bulge Scaling Relations at Low Mass1
We investigate the relationship between black hole mass and host galaxy properties for active galaxies with the lowest black hole masses currently known in galaxy nuclei. Hubble Space Telescope imaging confirms that the host galaxies have correspondingly low luminosity; they are ∼ 1 mag below L. In terms of morphology, ∼ 60% of the sample are disk-dominated, and all of these are consistent with...
متن کاملThe International Agn Watch: a Multiwavelength Monitoring Consortium
tbe International AGN Watch, an informal consortium of over 100 astronomers, was established to coordinate multiwavelength monitoring of a limited number of active galactic nuclei ' and thus obtain comprehensive continuum and emission-tine variability data with unprecedented temporal and wavelength coverage. In this review, we summarize the principal scientific results from two completed space-...
