Supermassive black holes (BHs) residing in the brightest cluster galaxies are over-massive relative to the stellar bulge mass or central stellar velocity dispersion of their host galaxies. As BHs residing at the bottom of the galaxy clusters potential well may undergo physical processes that are driven by the large-scale characteristics of the galaxy clusters, it is possible that the growth of these BHs is (indirectly) governed by the properties of their host clusters. In this work, we explore the connection between the mass of BHs residing in the brightest group/cluster galaxies (BGGs/BCGs) and the virial temperature, and hence total gravitating mass, of galaxy groups/clusters. To this end, we investigate a sample of 17 BGGs/BCGs with dynamical BH mass measurements and utilize XMM-Newton X-ray observations to measure the virial temperatures and infer the $M_{rm 500}$ mass of the galaxy groups/clusters. We find that the $M_{rm BH} - kT$ relation is significantly tighter and exhibits smaller scatter than the $M_{rm BH} - M_{rm bulge}$ relations. The best-fitting power-law relations are $ log_{10} (M_{rm BH}/10^{9} rm{M_{odot}}) = 0.20 + 1.74 log_{10} (kT/1 rm{keV}) $ and $ log_{10} (M_{rm BH}/10^{9} rm{M_{odot}}) = -0.80 + 1.72 log_{10} (M_{rm bulge}/10^{11} M_{odot})$. Thus, the BH mass of BGGs/BCGs may be set by physical processes that are governed by the properties of the host galaxy group/cluster. These results are confronted with the Horizon-AGN simulation, which reproduces the observed relations well, albeit the simulated relations exhibit notably smaller scatter.

Supermassive Black Holes (BHs) residing in brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are overly massive when considering the local relationships between the BH mass and stellar bulge mass or velocity dispersion. Due to the location of these BHs within the cl
uster, large-scale cluster processes may aid the growth of BHs in BCGs. In this work, we study a sample of 71 galaxy clusters to explore the relationship between the BH mass, stellar bulge mass of the BCG, and the total gravitating mass of the host clusters. Due to difficulties in obtaining dynamically measured BH masses in distant galaxies, we use the Fundamental Plane relationship of BHs to infer their masses. We utilize X-ray observations taken by $Chandra$ to measure the temperature of the intra-cluster medium (ICM), which is a proxy for the total mass of the cluster. We analyze the $rm M_{BH}-kT$ and $rm M_{BH}-M_{Bulge}$ relationships and establish the best-fitting power laws:$log_{10}(M_{rm BH} /10^9 M_{odot})=-0.35+2.08 log_{10}(kT / 1 rm keV)$ and $log_{10}(rm M_{BH}/10^9M_{odot})= -1.09+ 1.92 log_{10}(M_{rm bulge}/10^{11}M_{odot})$. Both relations are comparable with that established earlier for a sample of brightest group/cluster galaxies with dynamically measured BH masses. Although both the $rm M_{BH}-kT$ and the $rm M_{BH}-M_{Bulge}$ relationships exhibit large intrinsic scatter, based on Monte Carlo simulations we conclude that dominant fraction of the scatter originates from the Fundamental Plane relationship. We split the sample into cool core and non-cool core resembling clusters, but do not find statistically significant differences in the $rm M_{BH}-kT$ relation. We speculate that the overly massive BHs in BCGs may be due to frequent mergers and cool gas inflows onto the cluster center.
We present a discovery of the correlation between the X-ray spectral (photon) index and mass accretion rate observed in AGN NGC 4051. We analyzed spectral transition episodes observed in NGC 4051 using XMM/Newton, Suzaku and RXTE. We applied a scalin
g technique for a black hole (BH) mass evaluation which uses a correlation between the photon index and normalization of the seed (disk) component, which is proportional to a mass accretion rate. We developed an analytical model that shows the spectral (photon) index of the BH emergent spectrum undergoes an evolution from lower to higher values depending on a mass accretion rate in the accretion disk. We considered Cygnus X-1 and GRO~J1550-564 as reference sources for which distances, inclination angles and the BH masses are evaluated by dynamical measurements. Application of the scaling technique for the photon index-mass accretion rate correlation provides an estimate of the black hole mass in NGC 4051 to be more than 6x10^5 solar masses.
At the highest redshifts, z>6, several tens of luminous quasars have been detected. The search for fainter AGN, in deep X-ray surveys, has proven less successful, with few candidates to date. An extrapolation of the relationship between black hole (B
H) and bulge mass would predict that the sample of z>6 galaxies host relatively massive BHs (>1e6 Msun), if one assumes that total stellar mass is a good proxy for bulge mass. At least a few of these BHs should be luminous enough to be detectable in the 4Ms CDFS. The relation between BH and stellar mass defined by local moderate-luminosity AGN in low-mass galaxies, however, has a normalization that is lower by approximately an order of magnitude compared to the BH-bulge mass relation. We explore how this scaling changes the interpretation of AGN in the high-z Universe. Despite large uncertainties, driven by those in the stellar mass function, and in the extrapolation of local relations, one can explain the current non-detection of moderate-luminosity AGN in Lyman Break Galaxies if galaxies below 1e11 Msun are characterized by the low-normalization scaling, and, even more so, if their Eddington ratio is also typical of moderate-luminosity AGN rather than luminous quasars. AGN being missed by X-ray searches due to obscuration or instrinsic X-ray weakness also remain a possibility.
We present a study of relations between the masses of the central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the atmospheric gas temperatures and luminosities measured within a range of radii between $R_{rm e}$ and 5$R_{rm e}$, for a sample of 47 early-typ
e galaxies observed by the {it Chandra X-ray Observatory}. We report the discovery of a tight correlation between the atmospheric temperatures of the brightest cluster/group galaxies (BCGs) and their central SMBH masses. Furthermore, our hydrostatic analysis reveals an approximately linear correlation between the total masses of BCGs ($M_{rm tot}$) and their central SMBH masses ($M_{rm BH}$). State-of-the-art cosmological simulations show that the SMBH mass could be determined by the binding energy of the halo through radiative feedback during the rapid black hole growth by accretion, while for the most massive galaxies mergers are the chief channel of growth. In the scenario of a simultaneous growth of central SMBHs and their host galaxies through mergers, the observed linear correlation could be a natural consequence of the central limit theorem.
We use a large sample of upper limits and accurate estimates of supermassive black holes masses coupled with libraries of host galaxy velocity dispersions, rotational velocities and photometric parameters extracted from Sloan Digital Sky Survey i-ban
d images to establish correlations between the SMBH and host galaxy parameters. We test whether the mass of the black hole, MBH, is fundamentally driven by either local or global galaxy properties. We explore correlations between MBH and stellar velocity dispersion sigma, bulge luminosity, bulge mass Sersic index, bulge mean effective surface brightness, luminosity of the galaxy, galaxy stellar mass, maximum circular velocity Vc, galaxy dynamical and effective masses. We verify the tightness of the MBH-sigma relation and find that correlations with other galaxy parameters do not yield tighter trends. We do not find differences in the MBH-sigma relation of barred and unbarred galaxies. The MBH-sigma relation of pseudo-bulges is also coarser and has a different slope than that involving classical bulges. The MBH-bulge mass is not as tight as the MBH-sigma relation, despite the bulge mass proving to be a better proxy of MBH than bulge luminosity. We find a rather poor correlation between MBH and Sersic index suggesting that MBH is not related to the bulge light concentration. The correlations between MBH and galaxy luminosity or mass are not a marked improvement over the MBH sigma relation. If Vc is a proxy for the dark matter halo mass, the large scatter of the MBH-Vc relation then suggests that MBH is more coupled to the baryonic rather than the dark matter. We have tested the need for a third parameter in the MBH scaling relations, through various linear correlations with bulge and galaxy parameters, only to confirm that the fundamental plane of the SMBH is mainly driven by sigma, with a small tilt due to the effective radius.
