Results gathered to anchor the MBH−σ∗ relation raise concerns in the methods of measuring of σ∗ used for the original slope determinations. We present these preliminary results to demonstrate the problem and briefly outline where the discrepancies arise. IFS is a valuable tool in addressing this area and will allow us to remove systematics before tightening the MBH−σ∗ relation and end the “aperture arguments”.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
