Quashing a suspected selection bias in galaxy samples having dynamically-measured supermassive black holes

Nandini Sahu, Alister W. Graham, Dexter S. -H. Hon

Local early-type galaxies with directly-measured black hole masses, , have been reported to represent a biased sample relative to the population at large. Such galaxies…

Reading the tea leaves in the - and - diagrams: dry and gaseous mergers with remnant angular momentum

Alister W. Graham, Nandini Sahu

We recently revealed that bulges and elliptical galaxies broadly define distinct, super-linear relations in the - diagram, with the order-of-magnitude lo…

Appreciating mergers for understanding the non-linear - and - relations, updated herein, and the implications for the (reduced) role of AGN feedback

Alister W. Graham, Nandini Sahu

We present revised (black hole mass)-(spheroid stellar mass) and (black hole mass)-(galaxy stellar mass) scaling relations based on colour-dependent stellar mass-to-light ratios. O…

The size--mass and other structural parameter () relations for local bulges/spheroids from multicomponent decompositions

Dexter S. -H. Hon, Alister W. Graham, Nandini Sahu

We analyse the bulge/spheroid size-(stellar mass), , relation and spheroid structural parameters for 202 local (predominantly ) g…

Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: characterisation of tidal features from mock images

G. Martin, A. E. Bazkiaei, M. Spavone +50

Tidal features in the outskirts of galaxies yield unique information about their past interactions and are a key prediction of the hierarchical structure formation paradigm. The Ve…

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…

Defining the (Black Hole)-Spheroid Connection with the Discovery of Morphology-Dependent Substructure in the -- and -- Diagrams: New Tests for Advanced Theories and Realistic Simulations

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

For 123 local galaxies with directly-measured black hole masses (), we provide the host spheroid's Sérsic index (), effective half-light radius ($\rm R_{e,…

Neutron Star Extreme Matter Observatory: A kilohertz-band gravitational-wave detector in the global network

K. Ackley, V. B. Adya, P. Agrawal +160

Gravitational waves from coalescing neutron stars encode information about nuclear matter at extreme densities, inaccessible by laboratory experiments. The late inspiral is influen…

Revealing Hidden Substructures in the - Diagram, and Refining the Bend in the - Relation

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

Using 145 early- and late-type galaxies (ETGs and LTGs) with directly-measured super-massive black hole masses, , we build upon our previous discoveries that: (i) LTGs, mos…

Black Hole Mass Scaling Relations for Early-Type Galaxies: - and -

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

Analyzing a sample of 84 early-type galaxies with directly-measured super-massive black hole masses---nearly doubling the sample size of such galaxies with multi-component decompos…
