The Relation between Black Hole Mass, Bulge Mass, and Near-Infrared Luminosity

Open access

Abstract

We present new accurate near-infrared (NIR) spheroid (bulge) structural parameters obtained by a two-dimensional image analysis of all galaxies with a direct black hole (BH) mass determination. As expected, NIR bulge luminosities L bul and BH masses are tightly correlated, and if we consider only those galaxies with a secure BH mass measurement and an accurate L bul (27 objects), the spread of M BH - L bul is similar to M BH -σ e , where σ e is the effective stellar velocity dispersion. We find an intrinsic rms scatter of ≃0.3 dex in log M BH . By combining the bulge effective radii R e measured in our analysis with σ e , we find a tight linear correlation (rms ≃ 0.25 dex) between M BH and the virial bulge mass (∝ R e σ ), with ⟨ M BH / M bul ⟩ ~ 0.002. A partial correlation analysis shows that M BH depends on both σ e and R e and that both variables are necessary to drive the correlations between M BH and other bulge properties.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
