THE BULK OF THE BLACK HOLE GROWTH SINCE z ∼ 1 OCCURS IN A SECULAR UNIVERSE: NO MAJOR MERGER–AGN CONNECTION (2010, background): “…it has been recently proposed that these correlations are just the product of a statistical convergence of several galaxy mergers over cosmic time (Peng 2007; Jahnke & Maccio 2010), these correlations have often been interpreted as the signature of coupled evolution between the BH and its host…”
Journey to the MBH-σ relation: the fate of low-mass black holes in the Universe (2009, background): “Our conclusions in this regard are in agreement with those reached by alternative arguments, for instance see Peng (2007) and Robertson et al. (2006).”
PRECISE BLACK HOLE MASSES FROM MEGAMASER DISKS: BLACK HOLE–BULGE RELATIONS AT LOW MASS (2010, background): “Alternatively, Peng (2007) proposes that BH-bulge scaling relations are tightened at high mass due to multiple minor mergers, which, by the central limit theorem, yield a tightMBH −σ∗ relation at the present day (see also Hirschmann et al. 2010; Jahnke & Maccio 2010).”
THE NON-CAUSAL ORIGIN OF THE BLACK-HOLE–GALAXY SCALING RELATIONS (2010, methodology): “An alternative origin of the scaling relations Peng (2007) demonstrated a thought experiment for the potential origin of a MBH–Mbulge-relation without a physical coupling, but as the result of a statistical convergence process.”
Selection bias in dynamically measured supermassive black hole samples: its consequences and the quest for the most fundamental relation (2016, methodology): “Scatter in the black-hole galaxy scaling relations is thought to bear imprints of the amount of collisionless “dry mergers” experienced by the (most massive) hosts (e.g., Boylan-Kolchin et al. 2006; Peng 2007; Hirschmann et al. 2010; Jahnke & Macciò 2011, but see Savorgnan & Graham 2015a).”
Radio galaxies and feedback from AGN jets (2020, background): “bulge mass correlation, as suggested by Silk and Rees (1998), although such a relation can arise through mergers in the absence of feedback self-regulation (Peng, 2007).”
The Illustris simulation: the evolving population of black holes across cosmic time (2014, background): “…itself but also the properties of their host galaxy; ii) for higher black hole masses more galaxy-galaxy dry mergers and thus black hole – black hole mergers happen and due to the central limit theorem (Peng 2007; Hirschmann et al. 2010; Jahnke & Macciò 2011), the scatter in MBH - Mbulge tightens.”
What drives the growth of black holes (2011, background): “…deal of attention in understanding BH-spheroid relationships, recent work has also proposed that these relations do not imply a causal link between BHs and their host galaxies or halos, but are simply a consequence of the hierarchical growth of structure (e.g., Peng, 2007; Jahnke & Macciò, 2011).”
REVERBERATION MAPPING RESULTS FOR FIVE SEYFERT 1 GALAXIES (2012, background): “…have ranged from hierarchical mergers and quasar feedback to self-regulated BH growth (e.g., Silk & Rees 1998; Di Matteo et al. 2005; Hopkins et al. 2009), although there are also arguments that it is simply a consequence of random mergers (e.g., Peng 2007; Peng 2010; Jahnke & Macciò 2011).”
Black Holes in Pseudobulges and Spheroidals: A Change in the Black Hole-Bulge Scaling Relations at Low Mass (2008, background): “One alternative is suggested by Peng (2007), who proposes that merging in a hierarchical universe, combined with a mass function that rises toward low mass, will lead to a tight correlation between BH mass and bulge mass at the luminous end.”
REVISITING THE SCALING RELATIONS OF BLACK HOLE MASSES AND HOST GALAXY PROPERTIES (2012, methodology): “, even when M• and M? are initially uncorrelated (Malbon et al. 2007; Peng 2007; Hirschmann et al. 2010; Jahnke & Macciò 2011).”
THE SINFONI BLACK HOLE SURVEY: THE BLACK HOLE FUNDAMENTAL PLANE REVISITED AND THE PATHS OF (CO)EVOLUTION OF SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES AND BULGES (2016, background): “The correlations derived for the sample of core ellipticals tend to have the smallest intrinsic and measured scatter, broadly in agreement with the averaging effect described by Peng (2007).”
HST WFC3/IR OBSERVATIONS OF ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS HOST GALAXIES AT z ∼ 2: SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES GROW IN DISK GALAXIES (2010, background): “This raises interesting questions regarding the origin and relevance of the relationship between galaxy and black hole mass (Gebhardt et al. 2000; Ferrarese & Merritt 2000; Peng 2007; Jahnke & Maccio 2010).”
PRIMUS: THE DEPENDENCE OF AGN ACCRETION ON HOST STELLAR MASS AND COLOR (2011, background): “…Tremaine et al. 2002) of the stellar bulge, indicating that the growth of the SMBH and the processes that build up the stellar mass of the host galaxy must be related, although it is unclear whether a causal connection between these processes is required (see Peng 2007; Jahnke & Macciò 2011).”
THE MBH–LSPHEROID RELATION AT HIGH AND LOW MASSES, THE QUADRATIC GROWTH OF BLACK HOLES, AND INTERMEDIATE-MASS BLACK HOLE CANDIDATES (2012, methodology): “L diagram, for the reason described by Peng (2007) and Jahnke & Maccio (2011).”
AGN outflows and feedback twenty years on (2018, unknown): “Twenty years on, the role of AGN feedback in setting these scaling relations remains fiercely debated[23, 24].”
Cosmological simulations of black hole growth: AGN luminosities and downsizing (2013, unknown): “…2014 The Authors Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article-abstract/442/3/2304/1039443 by guest on 29 July 2018 statistical merging processes (Peng 2007; Hirschmann et al. 2010; Jahnke & Macciò 2011).”
Gravitational torque-driven black hole growth and feedback in cosmological simulations (2016, background): “Merging of galaxies and central black holes may help reduce the scatter of the scaling relations (Peng 2007; Hirschmann et al. 2010; Jahnke & Macciò 2011) but we find that it is not a significant contribution (Anglés-Alcázar et al. 2015).”
