MBH-σ relation between supermassive black holes and the velocity dispersion of globular cluster systems.

SADOUN R. and COLIN J.

Abstract (from CDS):

We find evidence that the mass MBH of central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) correlates with the velocity dispersion σGCof globular cluster systems of their host galaxies. This extends the well-known MBH-σsph relation between black hole mass and velocity dispersion of the host spheroidal component. We compile published measurements of both MBH and σGCfor a sample of 13 systems and find the relation log (MBH) =α+βlog (σGC/200), with α= 8.63 ±0.09 and β= 3.76±0.52. We also consider blue (metal-poor) and red (metal-rich) globular cluster subpopulations separately and obtain a surprisingly tight correlation using only the velocity dispersion σGCred of the red clusters with α= 8.73±0.09 and β= 3.84±0.52 and an intrinsic scatter {Ux025b}0= 0.22 dex compared to {Ux025b}0= 0.27 dex for the MBH-σsph relation of our sample. We use this MBH-σsph relation to estimate the central black hole mass in five galaxies for which σGCred is measured. The sudden appearance of CO emission in LHA 115-S 65
