Abstract:
We use a recently released SDSS catalog of X-ray-emitting AGNs in
conjunction with the FIRST radio survey to investigate the black hole
(BH) fundamental plane relationship between the 1.4GHz radio
luminosity (Lr), 0.1-2.4keV X-ray luminosity (LX), and black hole
mass (M), namely, logLr=ξRXlogLX+ξRMlogM+constant. For
this purpose, we compile a large sample of 725 broad-line AGNs, which
consists of 498 radio-loud sources and 227 radio-quiet sources. We
confirm that radio-loud objects have a steeper slope (ξRX) with
respect to radio-quiet objects and that the dependence of the BH
fundamental plane on the BH mass (ξRM) is weak.
Description:
Our sample is selected based on the cross-identification of the newly
published X-ray-emitting SDSS AGN catalog (Anderson et al. 2007, Cat.
J/AJ/133/313) and the catalog of the FIRST 20cm radio survey (White
et al. 1997, Cat. VIII/71).
