Abstract Analyzing a sample of 84 early-type galaxies (ETGs) with directly measured supermassive black hole masses—nearly doubling the size such multicomponent decompositions—a symmetric linear regression on reduced (merger-free) 76 reveals <?CDATA ${M}_{\mathrm{BH}}\propto {M}_{* ,\mathrm{sph}}^{1.27\pm 0.07}$?> total scatter Δ rms = 0.52 dex in $\mathrm{log}({M}_{\mathrm{BH}})$?> direction. Importantly, however, we discover that ES/S0-type disks are offset from E-type by more than factor...

Tidal features in the outskirts of galaxies yield unique information about their past interactions and are a key prediction hierarchical structure formation paradigm. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is poised to deliver deep observations for potentially millions objects with visible tidal features, but inference galaxy interaction histories from such not straightforward. Utilising automated techniques human visual classification conjunction realistic mock images produced using NEWHORIZON...

Using 145 early- and late-type galaxies (ETGs LTGs) with directly-measured super-massive black hole masses, $M_{BH}$, we build upon our previous discoveries that: (i) LTGs, most of which have been alleged to contain a pseudobulge, follow the relation $M_{BH}\propto\,M_{*,sph}^{2.16\pm0.32}$; (ii) ETG $M_{BH}\propto\,M_{*,sph}^{1.27\pm0.07}$ is an artifact ETGs with/without disks following parallel $M_{BH}\propto\,M_{*,sph}^{1.9\pm0.2}$ relations are offset by order magnitude in...

We present revised (black hole mass)-(spheroid stellar mass) and mass)-(galaxy scaling relations based on colour-dependent mass-to-light ratios. Our 3.6 micron luminosities were obtained from multicomponent decompositions, which accounted for bulges, discs, bars, ansae, rings, nuclear components, etc. The lenticular galaxy bulges (not associated with recent mergers) follow a steep M_bh~M_{*,bulge}^{1.53+/-0.15} relation, offset by roughly an order of magnitude in black mass the...

ABSTRACT We recently revealed that bulges and elliptical galaxies broadly define distinct, superlinear relations in the (black hole mass, Mbh)–(spheroid stellar M*,sph) diagram or Mbh−M*,sph diagram, with order-of-magnitude lower Mbh/M*,sph ratios due to major (disc-destroying, elliptical-building) dry mergers. Here, we present a more nuanced picture. Galaxy mergers, which net orbital angular momentum does not cancel, can lead systems rotating disc. This situation occur either wet (gas-rich)...

For 123 local galaxies with directly-measured black hole masses ($M_{\rm BH}$), we provide the host spheroid's S\'ersic index ($\rm n_{sph}$), effective half-light radius R_{e,sph}$), and surface brightness ($\mu_e$), obtained from careful multi-component decompositions, use these to derive morphology-dependent $M_{\rm BH}$--$\rm n_{sph}$ R_{e,sph}$ relations. We additionally present *,sph}$--$\rm explored differences due to: early-type (ETGs) versus late-type (LTGs); core-S\'ersic galaxies;...

This paper is the fourth in a series presenting (galaxy morphology, and thus galaxy formation)-dependent black hole mass, $M_{\rm BH}$, scaling relations. We have used sample of 119 galaxies with directly-measured BH}$ host spheroid parameters obtained from multi-component decomposition of, primarily, $3.6\,\mu$m Spitzer images. Here, we investigate correlations between projected luminosity density $\mu$, stellar mass $\Sigma$, deprojected (internal) $\rho$, for various radii. discover...

Abstract Observed evolution of the total mass distribution with redshift is crucial to testing galaxy theories. To measure distribution, strong gravitational lenses complement resolved dynamical observations that are currently limited z ≲ 0.5. Here we present lens models for a pilot sample seven galaxy-scale from ASTRO3D Galaxy Evolution Lenses ( AGEL ) survey. The lenses, modeled using HST/WFC3-F140W images Gravitational Lens Efficient Explorer GLEE software, have deflector redshifts in...

For decades, astronomers have been investigating how the central supermassive black hole (BH) may govern host galaxy’s properties and vice versa. Our work adds another step to this study. We performed state-of-theart 2D modeling multi-component photometric decompositions of largest-to-date sample galaxies with dynamically-measured masses (MBH). The decomposition allows us accurately extract bulge (spheroid) stellar luminosity/mass structural parameters (also for other galaxy components)...

Abstract Our multi-component photometric decomposition of the largest galaxy sample to date with dynamically-measured black hole masses nearly doubles number such galaxies. We have discovered substantially modified scaling relations between mass and host properties, including spheroid (bulge) stellar mass, total central velocity dispersion. These refinements partly arose because we were able explore for various sub-populations galaxies built by different physical processes, as traced...
