With references to both key and oft-forgotten pioneering works, this article starts by presenting a review into how we came to believe in the existence of massive black holes at the centres of galaxies. It then presents the historical development of the near-linear (black hole)-(host spheroid) mass relation, before explaining why this has recently been dramatically revised. Past disagreement over the slope of the (black hole)-(velocity dispersion) relation is also explained, and the discovery of sub-structure within the (black hole)-(velocity dispersion) diagram is discussed. As the search for the fundamental connection between massive black holes and their host galaxies continues, the competing array of additional black hole mass scaling relations for samples of predominantly inactive galaxies are presented.

  1. Stellar discs and intermediate-mass black holes in galactic nuclei I. Fragmenting the disc in an isotropic stellar potential

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simulations demonstrate that a retrograde IMBH with mass ratio ~0.67 to the disc mass fragments a stellar disc into inner, misaligned, and outer components within 10-20 Myr.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    FIRE-3 cosmological simulations of Seyfert galaxies produce episodic AGN feedback and gas clearing but no clear anti-correlation between nuclear gas concentration and AGN luminosity, highlighting timing mismatches wit...

  3. The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields: new probabilistic spectroscopic classifications and the accretion rates of radio galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A probabilistic spectroscopic classification of 4,471 radio sources finds that radiatively efficient and inefficient AGN have distinct Eddington-scaled accretion rates.
