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 (BH) 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 investigate the cosmic evolution of the ratio between black hole mass (MBH) and host galaxy total stellar mass (Mstellar) out to z~2.5 for a sample of 100 X-ray-selected moderate-luminosity, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the Chandra-
COSMOS Legacy Survey. By taking advantage of the deep multi-wavelength photometry and spectroscopy in the COSMOS field, we measure in a uniform way the galaxy total stellar mass using a SED decomposition technique and the black hole mass based on broad emission line measurements and single-epoch virial estimates. Our sample of AGN host galaxies has total stellar masses of 10^10-12Msun, and black hole masses of 10^7.0-9.5Msun. Combining our sample with the relatively bright AGN samples from the literature, we find no significant evolution of the MBH-Mstellar relation with black hole-to-host total stellar mass ratio of MBH/Mstellar~0.3% at all redshifts probed. We conclude that the average black hole-to-host stellar mass ratio appears to be consistent with the local value within the uncertainties, suggesting a lack of evolution of the MBH-Mstellar relation up to z~2.5.
Using photometric galaxies from the HSC survey, we measure the stellar mass density profiles for satellite galaxies as a function of the projected distance, $r_p$, to isolated central galaxies (ICGs) selected from SDSS/DR7 spectroscopic galaxies at $
zsim0.1$. By stacking HSC images, we also measure the projected stellar mass density profiles for ICGs and their stellar halos. The total mass distributions are further measured from HSC weak lensing signals. ICGs dominate within $sim$0.15 times the halo virial radius ($0.15R_{200}$). The stellar mass versus total mass fractions drop with the increase in $r_p$ up to $sim0.15R_{200}$, beyond which they are less than 1% while stay almost constant, indicating the radial distribution of satellites trace dark matter. The total stellar mass in satellites is proportional to the virial mass of the host halo, $M_{200}$, for ICGs more massive than $10^{10.5}M_odot$, i.e., $M_{ast,mathrm{sat}} propto M_{200}$, whereas the relation between the stellar mass of ICGs $+$ stellar halos and $M_{200}$ is close to $M_{ast,mathrm{ICG+diffuse}}propto M_{200}^{1/2}$. Below $10^{10.5}M_odot$, the change in $M_{200}$ is much slower with the decrease in $M_{ast,mathrm{ICG+diffuse}}$. At fixed stellar mass, red ICGs are hosted by more massive dark matter halos and have more satellites. At $M_{200}sim10^{12.7}M_odot$, both $M_{ast,mathrm{sat}}$ and the fraction of stellar mass in satellites versus total stellar mass, $f_mathrm{sat}$, tend to be slightly higher around blue ICGs, perhaps implying the late formation of blue galaxies. $f_mathrm{sat}$ increases with the increase in both $M_{ast,mathrm{ICG+diffuse}}$ and $M_{200}$, and scales more linearly with $M_{200}$. We provide best-fitting formulas for these scaling relations and for red and blue ICGs separately.
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
des us. The local relations for active galaxies are interesting in their own right and form the foundation for any evolutionary study over cosmic time. We present Hubble Space Telescope optical imaging of a sample of 66 local active galactic nuclei (AGNs); for 14 objects, we also obtained Gemini near-infrared images. We use state of the art methods to perform surface photometry of the AGN host galaxies, decomposing them in spheroid, disk and bar (when present) and inferring the luminosity and stellar mass of the components. We combine this information with spatially-resolved kinematics obtained at the Keck Telescopes to study the correlations between $M_{rm BH}$ (determined from single-epoch virial estimators) and host galaxy properties. The correlations are uniformly tight for our AGN sample, with intrinsic scatter 0.2-0.4 dex, smaller than or equal to that of quiescent galaxies. We find no difference between pseudo and classical bulges or barred and non-barred galaxies. We show that all the tight correlations can be simultaneously satisfied by AGN hosts in the 10$^7$-10$^9$ $M_{odot}$ regime, with data of sufficient quality. The MBH-$sigma$ relation is also in agreement with that of AGNs with $M_{rm BH}$ obtained from reverberation mapping, providing an indirect validation of single-epoch virial estimators of $M_{rm BH}$.
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 determine the mass of the nuclear black hole ($M$) in NGC 3706, an early type galaxy with a central surface brightness minimum arising from an apparent stellar ring, which is misaligned with respect to the galaxys major axis at larger radii. We fi
t new HST/STIS and archival data with axisymmetric orbit models to determine $M$, mass-to-light ratio ($Upsilon_V$), and dark matter halo profile. The best-fit model parameters with 1$sigma$ uncertainties are $M = (6.0^{+0.7}_{-0.9}) times 10^8 M_{scriptscriptstyle odot}$ and $Upsilon_V = 6.0 pm 0.2 M_{scriptscriptstyle odot} L_{{scriptscriptstyle odot},V}^{-1}$ at an assumed distance of 46 Mpc. The models are inconsistent with no black hole at a significance of $Deltachi^2 = 15.4$ and require a dark matter halo to adequately fit the kinematic data, but the fits are consistent with a large range of plausible dark matter halo parameters. The ring is inconsistent with a population of co-rotating stars on circular orbits, which would produce a narrow line-of-sight velocity distribution (LOSVD). Instead, the rings LOSVD has a small value of $|V|/sigma$, the ratio of mean velocity to velocity dispersion. Based on the observed low $|V|/sigma$, our orbit modeling, and a kinematic decomposition of the ring from the bulge, we conclude that the stellar ring contains stars that orbit in both directions. We consider potential origins for this unique feature, including multiple tidal disruptions of stellar clusters, a change in the gravitational potential from triaxial to axisymmetric, resonant capture and inclining of orbits by a binary black hole, and multiple mergers leading to gas being funneled to the center of the galaxy.
