An Observed Fundamental Plane Relation for Supermassive Black Holes
Philip F. Hopkins, Lars Hernquist, Thomas J. Cox +2
We study observed correlations between supermassive black hole (BHs) and the properties of their host galaxies, and show that the observations define a BH 'fundamental plane' (BHFP…
A Theoretical Interpretation of the Black Hole Fundamental Plane
Philip F. Hopkins, Lars Hernquist, Thomas J. Cox +2
We examine the origin and evolution of correlations between properties of supermassive black holes (BHs) and their host galaxies using simulations of major galaxy mergers, includin…
An Upper Limit to the Degree of Evolution Between Supermassive Black Holes and their Host Galaxies
Philip F. Hopkins, Brant Robertson, Elisabeth Krause +2
We describe a model-independent integral constraint which defines an upper limit to the allowed degree of evolution in the ratio of black hole (BH) mass to host galaxy luminosity o…
Time Domain Explorations With Digital Sky Surveys
A. A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, M. J. Graham +17
One of the new frontiers of astronomical research is the exploration of time variability on the sky at different wavelengths and flux levels. We have carried out a pilot project us…
