Probing black hole accretion tracks, scaling relations and radiative efficiencies from stacked X-ray active galactic nuclei

Francesco Shankar, David H. Weinberg, Christopher Marsden +25

The masses of supermassive black holes at the centres of local galaxies appear to be tightly correlated with the mass and velocity dispersions of their galactic hosts. However, the…

Constraining black hole-galaxy scaling relations from the large-scale clustering of Active Galactic Nuclei and implied mean radiative efficiency

Francesco Shankar, Viola Allevato, Mariangela Bernardi +11

A supermassive black hole has been found at the centre of nearly every galaxy observed with sufficient sensitivity. The masses of these black holes are observed to increase with ei…

Predicting fully self-consistent satellite richness, galaxy growth and starformation rates from the STastical sEmi-Empirical modeL STEEL

Philip J. Grylls, F. Shankar, J. Leja +4

Observational systematics complicate comparisons with theoretical models limiting understanding of galaxy evolution. In particular, different empirical determinations of the stella…

The structural properties of classical bulges and discs from z~2

Paola Dimauro, Marc Huertas-Company, Emanuele Daddi +19

We study the rest-frame optical mass-size relation of bulges and discs from z~2 to z~0 for a complete sample of massive galaxies in the CANDELS fields using 2 component Sérsic mode…

Black hole scaling relations of active and quiescent galaxies: Addressing selection effects and constraining virial factors

Francesco Shankar, Mariangela Bernardi, Kayleigh Richardson +9

Local samples of quiescent galaxies with dynamically measured black hole masses (Mbh) may suffer from an angular resolution-related selection effect, which could bias the observed…
