The link between star-formation and supermassive black hole properties

Abstract

It is well known that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies co-evolve. AGN feedback plays an important role on this symbiosis. To study the effect of the AGN feedback on the host galaxy, a popular method is to study the star-formation rate (SFR) as a function of the X-ray luminosity (L${}_X$). However, hydrodynamical simulations suggest that the cumulative impact of AGN feedback on a galaxy is encapsulated in the mass of the SMBH, M${}_{BH}$, rather than the L${}_X$. In this study, we compare the SFR of AGN and non-AGN galaxies as a function of L${}_X$, M${}_{BH}$, Eddington ratio (n${}_{Edd}$) and specific black hole accretion rate (${\lambda }_{sBHAR}$). For that purpose, we use 122 X-ray AGN in the XMM-XXL field and 3371 galaxies from the VIPERS survey and calculate the SFR${}_{norm}$ parameter, defined as the ratio of the SFR of AGN to the SFR of non-AGN galaxies with similar stellar mass, M${}_{\ast }$, and redshift. Our datasets span a redshift range of $0.5\le \mathrm{z}\le 1.2$. The results show that the correlation between SFR${}_{norm}$ and M${}_{BH}$ is stronger compared to that between SFR${}_{norm}$ and L${}_X$. A weaker correlation is found between SFR${}_{norm}$ and ${\lambda }_{sBHAR}$. No correlation is detected between SFR${}_{norm}$ and n${}_{Edd}$. These results corroborate the idea that the M${}_{BH}$ is a more robust tracer of the cumulative impact of the AGN feedback compared to the instantaneous accretion rate (L${}_X$) and, thus, a better predictive parameter of the changes of the SFR of the host galaxy.
