2
Content n Introduction: BHs in the universe n BH Fundamental Plane n Test with a uniform sample n Discussions
3
Introduction n Three categories of astrophysical BHs u Primordial BHs: M~10^15g, not detected yet u Stellar-mass BHs: M~3-20 solar masses, ~20 detected in BH X-ray binaries u Supermassive BHs: M~10^6- 10^9 solar masses, exist in the center of galaxies n Intermediate-mass BHs: M~10^2-10^4 solar masses (??)
4
An Example of Stellar-mass BH: Cyg X-1 Mass function: Cyg X-1
5
An example of supermassive BH: M87 M~10 9 M ⊙ Measured by dynamic method
6
Supermassive BH in the center of our Milky Way M 4x10 6 M
7
Reverberation mapping u R BLR estimated by the time delay that corresponds to the light travel time between the continuum source and the line- emitting gas: R BLR =c t u V estimated by the FWHM of broad emission line Peterson (1997)

Primary Methods: Phenomenon:BL Lac Objects Quiescent Galaxies Type 2 AGNs Type 1 AGNs Summary: Methods of estimating SMBH Masses Stellar, gas dynamics Megamasers2-d RM 1-d RM Fundamental Empirical Relationships: M BH – * AGN M BH – * Secondary Mass Indicators: Fundamental plane: e, r e * M BH Broad-line width V & size scaling with luminosity R L 0.7 M BH Low-z AGNs High-z AGNs [O III ] line width V * M BH Peterson (2004)
9
Analogy between Stellar-mass BH and Supermassive BH systems: Common physics: BH, accretion disk, jet,...
10
Black Hole Fundamental Plane n BH: Mass (M) n Accretion disk: X-ray emission(L X ) n Jet: Radio emission(L R ) n Any relation among L R, L X and M?
11
A fundamental plane of black hole activity (Merloni, Heinz, & Di Matteo, 2003, MNRAS) Stellar-mass BHs Supermassive BHs
12
Unification scheme for accreting BH systems and radio--X-ray correlation (Falcke, Kording, & Markoff, 2004, A&A)
13
Test with a uniform sample n Problem of previous studies u non-uniform samples n Our sample u a uniform radio and X-ray emitting broad line AGN sample selected from SDSS-RASS-FIRST surveys (Wang, Wu & Kong, 2006, ApJ; astro-ph/0603514) u including 76 radio-loud and 39 radio-quiet AGNs
14
Black hole mass estimates n Virial law (Kaspi et al. 2000) n R-L Hβ relation (Wu et al. 2004) n McLure -Jarvis (2002) relation
16
For radio-quiet sources: Different slopes No correlation with M
17
The correlation is not dominated by distance & mass
18
Difference between radio-loud and radio-quiet AGNs in the radio--X-ray relation
19
The contribution of relativistic beaming effect in radio-loud AGNs δLog Lr=Log Lr-Log Lr (predict)
20
Discussions n Differences from previous results u a uniform sample u Different slopes for radio-loud and radio-quiet AGNs u Weak/no dependence on BH mass n Underlying physics u Different X-ray origins: accretion for RQ AGNs; jet for RL AGNs u Relativistic beaming in RL AGNs
21
Heinz (2004, MNRAS) Scaling relations for scale-invariant cooled jets (both Lr & Lx are from jets): For canonical synchrotron spectrum of p=2,α r =0.5,α x =1 Consistent with our results for radio-loud AGNs!
22
Radio--X-ray correlation with different X-ray origins (Yuan & Cui 2005, ApJ) Consistent with the results obtained with our uniform sample! Flat slopeSteep slope
