- A Fundamental Relation between Supermassive Black Holes and Their Host GalaxiesThe Astrophysical Journal · 2000 · 4,436 citations
The masses of supermassive black holes correlate almost perfectly with the velocity dispersions of their host bulges, M bh ∝ σ α , where α = 4.8 ± 0.5. The relation is much tighter than the relation between M bh…
