A Comparison of Stellar and Gaseous Kinematics in the Nuclei of Active Galaxies
Open accessAbstract
To investigate the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies, many groups have used the width of the [O III] λ5007 line as a substitute for the stellar velocity dispersion (σ * ) of galaxy bulges. We directly test this assumption with a large and homogeneous sample of narrow-line active galactic nuclei from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We consider multiple transitions ([O II] λ3727, [O III] λ5007, and [S II] λλ6716, 6731) and various techniques for quantifying the line width in order to obtain a calibration between the gas velocity dispersion, σ g , and σ * . We find that σ g of the low-ionization lines traces σ * , as does σ g for the core of [O III] after its asymmetric blue wing is properly removed, although in all cases the correlation between σ g and σ * has considerable scatter. While the gas kinematics of the narrow-line region of active galaxies are primarily governed by the gravitational potential of the stars, the accretion rate, as traced by the Eddington luminosity ratio, seems to play an important secondary role. Departures from virial motions correlate systematically with accretion rate. We discuss the implications of these results for previous studies that use [O III] line widths to infer stellar velocity dispersions in quasars and narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies.

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.
