Journal ArticleDOI
A Fundamental Relation Between Supermassive Black Holes and Their Host Galaxies
TL;DR: The mass of supermassive black holes correlate almost perfectly with the velocity dispersions of their host bulges, Mbh ∝ σα, where α = 48 ± 05.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the final results of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Key Project to measure the Hubble constant are presented, and the results are based on a Cepheid calibration of several secondary distance methods applied over the range of about 60-400 Mpc.

TL;DR: In this article, the final results of the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project to measure the Hubble constant are presented, and the implications of these results for cosmology are discussed and compared with other, global methods for measuring the Hubble constants.

TL;DR: In this article, a reanalysis of broad emission-line reverberation-mapping data was carried out for 35 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) based on a complete and consistent reanalysis, and it was shown that the highest precision measure of the virial product cτΔV2/G is obtained by using the cross-correlation function centroid (cf.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supermassive Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei: Past, Present and Future Research
TL;DR: The current status of supermassive black hole research, as seen from a purely observational standpoint, can be found in this article, where the authors present a review of the state of the art.
