  4. Weighing planets, stars, galaxies or black holes vcirc = aGM/r a depends on the orbit

  5. Kepler

  6. M84

  7. Orbit Superposition (Schwarzschild’s method) • Assume a mass distribution. • Compute the gravitational forces. • Follow all the orbits. • Sum the orbits to match the observed velocities. • Failure rules out the mass distribution.

  8. The current demographic picture

  9. Results of 15 year effort • Most bulges have BH (97% so far). • BH mass tracks main-body parameters (L, ).

  10. Second parameter?

  11. Bulge M/L ~ 3x10-3h • Density - 2.5x105 Msun/Mpc³ for h=.65 (Yu & Tremaine) - 4.8x105h² Msun/Mpc³ (Aller & Richstone) • consistent results from different datasets. • S = 2.2x105 Msun/Mpc3 - 6 – 9x105 (Fabian & Iwasawa) qso+X-ray background (and similar from Barger).

  12. ?BIG PROBLEM? The X-ray background energy exceeds the available sources of energy in known supermassive black holes. (the known population of SBH seems just adequate for the quasar energy).

  13. A note on backgrounds • Any background can be expressed in terms of the cosmic microwave background energy density (about 1eV/cm3). • uqso ~ 10-4 • bh ~ uqso-1(1 -  -gw – ejections) • ustars ~ 1

  14. What should theorists learn from the observations? • BH can accrete stars, gas, degenerate objects, dark matter; only gas accretion yields the correct Soltan number. • Most BH growth has occurred during the quasar epoch. Is this also the epoch of bulge formation? Of major mergers? • How does BH growth connect to galaxy formation and evolution?

  15. Collapse vs mergers

  16. Ideas for the M-s4 relation in the context of collapse or evolution • The bh growth is limited by a mass budget - competition w/ star formation(Burkert & Silk). • BH growth limited by energy conservation (Silk & Rees, Blandford, A.R.King). Ciotti & Ostriker, pure core collapse). • The bh growth is limited by a momentum budget (Fabian) • BH growth is limited by angular-momentum (AGR).

  17. Feedback versus initial conditions • Most feedback models are likely to eject material only in certain directions (for example, bubble break-out along direction of fastest density gradient). • Condition dependent models are fragile against changes in the environment.

  18. Antennae

  19. Any initial formation mechanisim evolves through the merger hierarchy (investigated through SAMs by Haehnelt & Kaufman). • BH merge or form binaries, triples, etc. • Ejections? The “last parsec” problem? • The dispersion of the M- relation is an important clue.

  20. LISA sky

  21. Grav waves.

  22. Implications • BH growth spurt during quasar era (is this the epoch of bulge formation?). • What is the pedigree of BH and galaxies? • M- relation is a powerful clue. • Co-Evolution! --- feeding, bar disruption, core scouring, mergers --- bh growh connected to galaxy evolution.
