Beyond the bulge: a fundamental relation between supermassive black holes and dark matter halos

L Ferrarese - The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
The possibility that the masses M BH of supermassive black holes (SBHs) correlate with the

Dark matter in spiral galaxies. II-Galaxies with HI rotation curves

SM Kent - Astronomical Journal (ISSN 0004-6256), vol. 93, April …, 1987 - adsabs.harvard.edu

Fundamental planes and the barless MBH-σ relation for supermassive black holes

AW Graham - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
The residuals about the standard M_ {\mathrm {bh}\,}-σ relation correlate with the effective
radius, absolute magnitude, and Sérsic index of the host bulge, giving rise to an apparent …
