A Correlation between Supermassive Black Hole Mass and Galaxy Light Concentration
The varying global distribution of stars, or specifically, their concentration Cr_e, within elliptical galaxies and spiral galaxy bulges is intimately related to the mass of their central supermassive black holes (Mbh), such that log (Mbh/Msun) = 6.81(±0.95)Cr_e + 5.03±0.41. This correlation has a Spearman correlation coefficient rs=0.91, and a
