Combining Direct Black Hole Mass Measurements and Spatially Resolved Stellar Kinematics to Calibrate the M BH–σ ⋆ Relation of Active Galaxies

Combining Direct Black Hole Mass Measurements and Spatially Resolved Stellar Kinematics to Calibrate the M BH–σ ⋆ Relation of Active Galaxies

The origin of the tight scaling relation between the mass of supermassive black holes (SMBHs; M _BH ) and their host-galaxy properties remains unclear. Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) probe phases of ongoing SMBH growth and offer the only opportunity to measure M _BH beyond the local Universe. However...
