The Growth of Black Holes: Insights From Obscured Active Galaxies
Jenny E. Greene, Nadia L. Zakamska, Xin Liu +2
Obscured or narrow-line active galaxies offer an unobstructed view of the quasar environment in the presence of a luminous and vigorously accreting black hole. We exploit the large…

Radiatively Inefficient Accretion in Nearby Galaxies
Luis C. Ho
We use new central stellar velocity dispersions and nuclear X-ray and Halpha luminosities for the Palomar survey of nearby galaxies to investigate the distribution of nuclear bolom…

Estimating black hole masses in young radio sources using CFHT spectroscopy
Minfeng Gu, Soojong Pak, Luis C. Ho
The correlation between black hole masses and stellar velocity dispersions provides an efficient method to determine the masses of black holes in active galaxies. We obtained optic…
