AbstractWe show that the observed time lag between starburst and AGN activity can be explained by a viscous time lag the gas needs to flow through the AGN's accretion disk before reaching the central black hole. Our calculations reproduce the observed time lag and are in agreement with the observed correlation between black hole mass and stellar velocity dispersion.

Aims. In order to study the slope and strength of the non-stellar continuum, we analysed a sample from nearby Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1). Also, we re-examined the location of NLS1 galaxies on the MBH − σ⋆ relation, using the stellar velocity dispersion and the [OIII]λ5007 emission line as a surrogate of the former. Methods. We studied spectra of a sample of 131 NLS1 galaxies taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7. We approached determining the non-stellar continuum by employing the spectral synthesis technique, which uses the code STARLIGHT, and by adopting a power-law base to model the non-stellar continuum. Composite spectra of NLS1 galaxies were also obtained based on the sample. In addition, we obtained the stellar velocity dispersion from the code and by measuring Calcium II Triplet absorption lines and [OIII] emission lines. From Gaussian decomposition of the Hβ profile we calculated the black hole mass. Results. We obtained a median slope of β = −1.6 with a median fraction of contribution of the non-stellar continuum to the total flux of 0.64. We determined black hole masses in the range of log(MBH/M⊙) = 5.6–7.5, which is in agreement with previous works. We found a correlation between the luminosity of the broad component of Hβ and black hole mass with the fraction of a power-law component. Finally, according to our results, NLS1 galaxies in our sample are located mostly underneath the MBH − σ⋆ relation, both considering the stellar velocity dispersion (σ⋆) and the core component of [OIII]λ5007.

In this work, we determine the central black hole mass for a sample of blazars including 30 γ-ray loud blazars with available variability timescales. The γ-ray energy, the emission size and the property of a two-temperature accretion disk are used to determine the absorption depth. If we take the intrinsic γ-ray luminosity to be λ times the Eddington luminosity, i.e. [Formula: see text], then we have following results: the masses of the black hole are in the range of 0.59 ~ 67.99 × 107M⊙(λ = 1.0) or 0.90 ~ 104.13 × 107M⊙(λ = 0.1). Blazars are also discussed.

AbstractIn our cosmological, chemodynamical simulations, (i) the black hole mass–velocity dispersion relation does not evolve, and black holes actually grow along the relation. (ii) the stellar mass–metallicity relation does not change its shape, while the gas-phase relation has a steeper slope at higher redshifts. (iii) While stellar metallicity gradients are made shallower by galaxy mergers, gas-phase gradients are affected more strongly by AGN feedback.
