SDSS J0159 as an outlier in the Mbh-sigma space: further clues to support a central tidal disruption event?

Abstract

In this Letter, properties of black hole (BH) mass are well checked for the interesting object SDSS J0159, a changing-look AGN and also a host galaxy of a tidal disruption event (TDE). Through spectral absorption features, the stellar velocity dispersion of SDSS J0159 can be well measured as $\sigma \sim 81km/s$, leading to SDSS J0159 being an apparent outlier in the \msig space, because of the BH mass estimated through the \msig relation about two magnitudes lower than the reported virial BH mass of about $10^8{\mathrm{M}}_{\odot }$. After considerations of contributions of stellar debris from the central TDE to broad line emission clouds, the over-estimated virial BH mass could be well explained in SDSS J0159. Therefore, over-estimated virial BH masses through broad line properties in the \msig space could be treated as interesting clues to support central TDEs.
