AMUSE-VIRGO. II. DOWN-SIZING IN BLACK HOLE ACCRETION

We complete the census of nuclear X-ray activity in 100 early-type Virgo galaxies observed by the Chandra X-ray Telescope as part of the AMUSE-Virgo survey, down to a (3σ) limiting luminosity of 3.7 × 10[superscript 38] erg s[superscript –1] over 0.5-7 keV. The stellar mass distribution of the targe...
