An Estimate of the Local Active Black Hole Mass Function and the Distribution Function of Eddington Ratios
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 June 2010
Extract
The observed relations between the black hole mass and the properties of the spheroidal galaxy component imply a close connection between the growth of supermassive black holes and the evolution of their host galaxies. An effective approach to study black hole growth is to measure black hole masses and Eddington ratios of well-defined type 1 AGN samples and determine the underlying distribution functions.
