Description

The scaling relations between the mass of black holes and the properties of galaxies are becoming more specific to the different galaxy morphologies. I will present an update on the current status of these relations and explain how we can refine the virial factor(s), f, used to calculate black hole masses from AGN virial products.

Funding request, please specify Coming from Australia, this is an expensive trip. I plan to combine it with an astronomy meeting in Sextens the week before, for which I am receiving no support from the organisers despite being an invited speaker. If support is available, i will humbly take some.
