Selection bias in the M_BH-sigma and M_BH-L correlations and its consequences
M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, E. Tundo +1
It is common to estimate black hole abundances by using a measured correlation between black hole mass and another more easily measured observable such as the velocity dispersion o…

On the inconsistency between the black hole mass function inferred from M_bh-sigma and M_bh-L correlation
E. Tundo, M. Bernardi, J. B. Hyde +2
Black hole masses are tightly correlated with the stellar velocity dispersions of the bulges which surround them, and slightly less-well correlated with the bulge luminosity. It is…

The luminosities, sizes and velocity dispersions of Brightest Cluster Galaxies: Implications for formation history
M. Bernardi, J. B. Hyde, R. K. Sheth +2
The size-luminosity relation of early-type Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs), R_e ~ L^0.88, is steeper than that for the bulk of the early-type galaxy population, for which R_e ~ L…
