Abstract:
Scaling relations between central black hole (BH) mass and host galaxy
properties are of fundamental importance to studies of BH and galaxy
evolution throughout cosmic time. Here we investigate the relationship
between BH mass and host galaxy total stellar mass using a sample of
262 broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the nearby universe
(z<0.055), as well as 79 galaxies with dynamical BH masses. The vast
majority of our AGN sample is constructed using Sloan Digital Sky
Survey spectroscopy and searching for Seyfert-like narrow-line ratios
and broad Hα emission. BH masses are estimated using standard
virial techniques. We also include a small number of dwarf galaxies
with total stellar masses Mstellar≲109.5M☉ and a subsample
of the reverberation-mapped AGNs. Total stellar masses of all 341
galaxies are calculated in the most consistent manner feasible using
color-dependent mass-to-light ratios. We find a clear correlation
between BH mass and total stellar mass for the AGN host galaxies, with
MBH∝Mstellar, similar to that of early-type galaxies with
dynamically detected BHs. However, the relation defined by the AGNs
has a normalization that is lower by more than an order of magnitude,
with a BH-to-total stellar mass fraction of MBH/Mstellar∼0.025%
across the stellar mass range 108≤Mstellar/M☉≤1012. This
result has significant implications for studies at high redshift and
cosmological simulations in which stellar bulges cannot be resolved.
Description:
Our parent sample of emission-line galaxies is culled from the
NASA-Sloan Atlas (NSA), which is based on the SDSS Data Release 8
(DR8) spectroscopic catalog (Aihara et al. 2011ApJS..193...29A 2011ApJS..193...29A).
