AbstractAbstract
[en] Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are arguably one of the key active galactic nucleus (AGN) subclasses in investigating the origin of the black hole mass–stellar velocity dispersion () relation because of their high accretion rate and significantly low . Currently, it is under discussion whether present-day NLS1s offset from the relation. Using the directly measured stellar velocity dispersion of 93 NLS1s at z < 0.1, and estimates based on the updated mass estimators, we investigate the relation of NLS1s in comparison with broad-line AGNs. We find no strong evidence that the NLS1s deviates from the relation, which is defined by reverberation-mapped type 1 AGNs and quiescent galaxies. However, there is a clear trend of the offset with the host galaxy morphology, i.e., galaxies that are more inclined toward the LOS have higher stellar velocity dispersions, suggesting that the rotational broadening plays a role in measuring stellar velocity dispersion based on the single-aperture spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In addition, we provide the virial factor (f = 1.12), for estimators based on the FWHM of Hβ, by jointly fitting the relation using quiescent galaxies and reverberation-mapped AGNs.
