The black hole mass–stellar velocity dispersion correlation: bulges versus pseudo-bulges
The black hole mass–stellar velocity dispersion correlation: bulges versus pseudo-bulges
We investigate the correlation between the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) mass (Mbh) and the stellar velocity dispersion (σ*) in two types of host galaxies: the early-type bulges (disc galaxies with classical bulges or elliptical galaxies) and pseudo-bulges. In the form log (Mbh/M⊙) =α+β log (σ*/200 km s−1), the best-fitting results …
