Discovery of a Planar Black Hole Mass Scaling Relation for Spiral Galaxies

Benjamin L. Davis, Zehao Jin

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are tiny in comparison to the galaxies they inhabit, yet they manage to influence and coevolve along with their hosts. Evidence of this mutual deve…

Disc cloaking: Establishing a lower limit to the number density of local compact massive spheroids/bulges and the potential fate of some high-z red nuggets

Dexter S. -H. Hon, Alister W. Graham, Benjamin L. Davis +1

The near-absence of compact massive quiescent galaxies in the local Universe implies a size evolution since . It is often theorised that such `red nuggets' have evolved i…

Central X-ray point-sources found to be abundant in low-mass, late-type galaxies predicted to contain an intermediate-mass black hole

Alister W. Graham, Roberto Soria, Benjamin L. Davis +5

Building upon three late-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster with both a predicted black hole mass of less than 10 M and a centrally-located X-ray point-source,…

Potential Black Hole Seeding of the Spiral Galaxy NGC 4424 via an Infalling Star Cluster

Alister W. Graham, Roberto Soria, Bogdan C. Ciambur +2

Galaxies can grow through their mutual gravitational attraction and subsequent union. While orbiting a regular high-surface-brightness galaxy, the body of a low-mass galaxy can be…

The (Black Hole Mass)-(Spheroid Stellar Density) Relations: -- (and --) and --

Nandini Sahu, Alister W. Graham, Benjamin L. Davis

This paper is the fourth in a series presenting (galaxy morphology, and thus galaxy formation)-dependent black hole mass, , scaling relations. We have used a sample of…

Refining the mass estimate for the intermediate-mass black hole candidate in NGC 3319

Benjamin L. Davis, Alister W. Graham

Recent X-ray observations by Jiang et al. have identified an active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the bulgeless spiral galaxy NGC 3319, located just Mpc away, and suggest…
