On the Black Hole Mass-Bulge Mass Relation
Open accessAbstract
We have reexamined the relation between the mass of the central black holes in nearby galaxies, M bh , and the stellar mass of the surrounding spheroid or bulge, M bulge . For a total of 30 galaxies bulge masses were derived through Jeans equation modeling or adopted from dynamical models in the literature. In stellar mass-to-light ratios, the spheroids and bulges span a range of a factor of 8. The bulge masses were related to well-determined black hole masses taken from the literature. With these improved values for M bh , compared to Magorrian et al., and our redetermination of M bulge , we find that the M bh - M bulge relation becomes very tight. We find M bh ~ M with an observed scatter of ≲0.30 dex, a fraction of which can be attributed to measurement errors. The scatter in this relation is therefore comparable to the scatter in the relations of M bh with σ and the stellar concentration. These results confirm and refine the work of Marconi & Hunt. For M bulge ~ 5 × 10 10 M ☉ the median black hole mass is 0.14% ± 0.04% of the bulge mass.

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.
