[Abridged] We investigate the nature of the relations between black hole (BH) mass ($M_{rm BH}$) and the central velocity dispersion ($sigma$) and, for core-Sersic galaxies, the size of the depleted core ($R_{rm b}$). Our sample of 144 galaxies with dynamically determined $M_{rm BH}$ encompasses 24 core-Sersic galaxies, thought to be products of gas-poor mergers, and reliably identified based on high-resolution HST imaging. For core-Sersic galaxies -- i.e., combining normal-core ($R_{rm b} < 0.5 $ kpc) and large-core galaxies ($R_{rm b} gtrsim 0.5$ kpc), we find that $M_{rm BH}$ correlates remarkably well with $R_{rm b}$ such that $M_{rm BH} propto R_{rm b}^{1.20 pm 0.14}$ (rms scatter in log $M_{rm BH}$ of $Delta_{rm rms} sim 0.29$ dex), confirming previous works on the same galaxies except three new ones. Separating the sample into Sersic, normal-core and large-core galaxies, we find that Sersic and normal-core galaxies jointly define a single log-linear $M_{rm BH}-sigma$ relation $M_{rm BH} propto sigma^{ 4.88 pm 0.29}$ with $Delta_{rm rms} sim 0.47$ dex, however, at the high-mass end large-core galaxies (four with measured $M_{rm BH}$) are offset upward from this relation by ($2.5-4) times sigma_{rm s}$, explaining the previously reported steepening of the $M_{rm BH}-sigma$ relation for massive galaxies. Large-core spheroids have magnitudes $M_{V} le -23.50$ mag, half-light radii Re $>$ 10 kpc and are extremely massive $M_{*} ge 10^{12}M_{odot}$. Furthermore, these spheroids tend to host ultramassive BHs ($M_{rm BH} ge 10^{10}M_{odot}$) tightly connected with their $R_{rm b}$ rather than $sigma$. The less popular $M_{rm BH}-R_{rm b}$ relation exhibits $sim$ 62% less scatter in log $M_{rm BH}$ than the $M_{rm BH}- sigma$ relations.
Strong scaling relations between host galaxy properties (such as stellar mass, bulge mass, luminosity, effective radius etc) and their nuclear supermassive black holes mass point towards a close co-evolution. In this work, we first review previous ef
We present high resolution spectroscopy taken with the Keck Echellete Spectrograph and Imager to measure stellar velocity dispersions for eight active dwarf galaxies ($M_{ast}<3times10^{9}~M_{odot}$) with virial black hole masses. We double the numbe
We revisit the possibility of redshift evolution in the $M_{rm{BH}}-sigma_*$ relation with a sample of 22 Seyfert 1 galaxies with black holes (BHs) in the mass range $10^{6.3}-10^{8.3}~M_odot$ and redshift range $0.03<z<0.57$ with spectra obtained fr
The tight correlations between the mass of supermassive black holes ($M_{rm BH}$) and their host-galaxy properties have been of great interest to the astrophysical community, but a clear understanding of their origin and fundamental drivers still elu
Liu and collaborators recently proposed an elliptical accretion disk model for tidal disruption events (TDEs). They showed that the accretion disks of optical/UV TDEs are large and highly eccentric and suggested that the broad optical emission lines
