Determination of supermassive black hole spins in local active galactic nuclei
read the original abstract
We estimated the radiative efficiency and spin value for a number of local active galactic nuclei with z < 0.34 using 3 popular models connecting the radiative efficiency with such parameters of AGNs as mass of supermassive black hole, angle between the line of sight and the axis of the accretion disk and bolometric luminosity. Analysis of the obtained data shown that the spin value decreases with cosmic time, which is in agreement with results of theoretical calculations for low redshift AGNs of other authors. Also we found that the spin value increases with the increasing mass of SMBH and bolometric luminosity. This is the expected result that corresponds to theoretical calculations. Analysis of the distribution of the spin values shown a pronounced peak in the distribution in 0.75 < a < 1.0 range. ~ 40% of objects have spin a > 0.75 and ~ 50% of objects have spin a > 0.5. This results are in a good agreement with our previous results and with the results of other authors.

Estimation of black hole spins in low-mass AGNs and comparison with other types of AGNs
Spins of low-mass AGN black holes decrease with mass, supporting mergers or chaotic accretion as growth mechanisms and suggesting an evolutionary sequence where spins first decrease then slowly increase.
