The masses of nuclear black holes in luminous elliptical galaxies and implications for the space density of the most massive black holes
Black hole (BH) masses predicted from the Ṁ-σ relationship conflict with predictions from the Ṁ-L relationship for high-luminosity galaxies, such as brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). The Ṁ-L relationship predicts that some BCGs may harbor BHs with M approaching 1010 M⊙, while the Ṁ- σ relations...
