No evidence for a significant evolution of $M_{\bullet }$-$M_{\ast }$ relation in massive galaxies up to z$\sim$4

Abstract

Over the past two decades, tight correlations between black hole masses ($M_{\bullet }$) and their host galaxy properties have been firmly established for massive galaxies ($\log (M_{\ast }/M_{\odot })\gtrsim 10$) at low-$z$ ($z<1$), indicating coevolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies. However, the situation at high-$z$, especially beyond cosmic noon ($z\gtrsim 2.5$), is controversial. With a combination of \emph{JWST} NIRCam/wide field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS) from FRESCO, CONGRESS and deep multi-band NIRCam/image data from JADES in the GOODS fields, we study the black hole to galaxy mass relation at z$\sim$1--4. After identifying 18 broad-line active galactic nuclei (BL AGNs) at $1<z<4$ (with 8 at $z>2.5$) from the WFSS data, we measure their black hole masses based on broad near-infrared lines (Pa $\alpha$, Pa $\beta$, and He\,I $\lambda$10833\,Å), and constrain their stellar masses ($M_{\ast }$) from AGN-galaxy image decomposition or SED decomposition. Taking account of the observational biases, the intrinsic scatter of the $M_{\bullet }-M_{\ast }$ relation, and the errors in mass measurements, we find no significant difference in the $M_{\bullet }/M_{\ast }$ ratio for 2.5 $<$ z $<$ 4 compared to that at lower redshifts ($1<z<2.5$), suggesting no evolution of the $M_{\bullet }-M_{\ast }$ relation at $\log (M_{\ast }/M_{\odot })\gtrsim 10$ up to z$\sim$4.
