On the Relationship between Radio Emission and Black Hole Mass in Galactic Nuclei (2001, methodology): “The characteristic weakness of the ““ big blue bump ÏÏ in the spectral energy distributions of low-luminosity AGNs (Ho 1999c, 2002 ; Ho et al. 2000) indeed does lead to a larger value of thanL bol/L Bis typically seen in higher luminosity sources, but this di†erence is only a factor of D2 (see °…”
Spin, Accretion, and the Cosmological Growth of Supermassive Black Holes (2004, background): “There is also ample evidence that SMBHs reside at the centers of many, and perhaps most, galaxies (Richstone et al. 1998; Ho 1999), including the Milky Way (Genzel et al. 1997; Ghez et al. 2000, 2003; Schödel et al. 2002).”
Black Hole Mass Estimates from Reverberation Mapping and from Spatially Resolved Kinematics (2000, unknown): “However, based on their sizes, these galaxies have bulge hal flight radii of only a few arcseconds (Kotilainen, Ward, & Williger 1993; Baggett, Baggett, & Anderson 1998). These sizes are similar to the typical seeing and extraction windo w used (∼2). Gebhardt et al. (2000b) find that central apertur”
Quantifying the coexistence of massive black holes and dense nuclear star clusters (2009, background): “Rapid inspiral events may also generate gravitational radiation (e.g., Quinlan 1996; Alexander 2008; O'Leary et al. 2008; Merritt 2008).”
Evidence for Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei from Emission-Line Reverberation (2000, result): “We note, however, that other authors find lower values for non-active galaxies, MBH/Mbulge = 0.002–0.003 (Ho 1999; Kormendy & Ho 2000).”
