Earlier work had demonstrated a possible relationship between galaxy luminosity and black hole mass,<ref>Magorrian, J. et al. (1998), [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998AJ....115.2285M  The Demography of Massive Dark Objects in Galaxy Centers], ''The Astronomical Journal'', '''115''', 2285-2305</ref> but that relationship had a large scatter.  The much smaller scatter of the M–σ relation is generally interpreted
to imply some source of mechanical [[feedback]] between the growth of supermassive black holes and the growth of galaxy bulges, although the source of this feedback is still uncertain.
 
Discovery of the M–σ relation was taken by many astronomers to imply that supermassive black holes are fundamental components of galaxies. Prior to about 2000, the main concern had been the simple detection of black holes, while afterward the interest changed to understanding the role of supermassive black holes as a critical component of galaxies. This led to the main uses of the relation to estimate black hole masses in galaxies that are too distant for direct mass measurements to be made, and to assay the overall black hole content of the Universe.
 
==Origin==
The tightness of the M–σ relation suggests that some kind of feedback acts to maintain the connection between black hole mass and stellar velocity dispersion, in spite of processes like [[galaxy merger]]s and [[accretion (astronomy)|gas accretion]] that might be expected to increase the scatter over time.
One such mechanism was suggested by [[Joseph Silk]] and [[Martin Rees]] in 1998.<ref>Silk, J. and Rees, M. (1998), [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998A%26A...331L...1S  Quasars and galaxy formation], ''Astronomy and Astrophysics'', '''331''', L1-L4</ref> These authors proposed a model in which supermassive black holes first form via collapse of giant
gas clouds before most of the bulge mass has turned into stars. The black holes created in this way would then accrete and radiate, driving a wind which acts back on the accretion flow.
The flow would stall if the rate of deposition of mechanical energy into the infalling gas was large enough to unbind the protogalaxy in one [[crossing time]]. The Silk and Rees model predicts
a slope for the M–σ relation of α=5, which is approximately correct. However, the predicted normalization of the relation is too small by about a factor of one thousand. The reason is that there is far more energy released in the formation of a supermassive black hole than is needed to completely unbind the stellar bulge.
 
A more successful feedback model was first presented by [[Andrew King (astronomer)|Andrew King]] at the [[University of Leicester]] in 2003.<ref name=AKing>{{cite journal|last=King|first=Andrew|title=Black Holes, Galaxy Formation, and the MBH-σ Relation|journal=The Astrophysical Journal|year=2003|volume=596|pages=L27-L29|doi=10.1086/379143|url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2003ApJ...596L..27K|arxiv = astro-ph/0308342 |bibcode = 2003ApJ...596L..27K }}</ref> In King's model, feedback occurs through momentum transfer, rather than energy transfer as in the case of Silk & Rees's modelA “momentum-driven flow” is one in which the gas cooling time is so short that essentially all the energy in the flow is in the form of bulk motion. In such a flow, most of the energy released by the black hole is lost to radiation, and only a few percent is left to affect the gas mechanically. King's model predicts a slope of α=4 for the M–σ relation, and the normalization is exactly correct; it is roughly a factor c/σ ≈ 10<sup>3</sup> times larger than in Silk & Rees's relation.
 
==Importance==
Before the M–σ relation was discovered in 2000, a large discrepancy existed between black hole masses derived using three techniques.<ref name=MF01>Merritt, D. and Ferrarese, L. (2001), Relationship of Black Holes to Bulges [http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/March01/Merritt3/frames.html]</ref>
''Direct,'' or dynamical, measurements based on the motion of stars or gas near the black hole seemed to give masses that averaged ~1% of the bulge mass (the "Magorrian relation"). Two other techniques—[[reverberation mapping]] in [[active galactic nuclei]], and the [[Soltan argument]], which computes the cosmological density in black holes needed to explain the [[quasar]] light—both gave a mean value of M/M<sub>bulge</sub> that was a factor ~10 smaller than implied by the Magorrian relation. The M–σ relation resolved this discrepancy by showing that most of the direct black hole masses published prior to 2000 were significantly in error, presumably because the data on which they were based were of insufficient quality to resolve the black hole's dynamical [[sphere of influence (astronomy)|sphere of influence]].<ref name=DEGN>{{cite book|last=Merritt|first=David|title=Dynamics and Evolution of Galactic Nuclei|year=2013|publisher=Princeton University Press|location=Princeton, NJ|isbn=9781400846122|url=http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16802359W/Dynamics_and_Evolution_of_Galactic_Nuclei}}</ref> The mean ratio of black hole mass to bulge mass is now believed to be approximately 1:1000.<ref>[[David Merritt|Merritt, D.]] and Ferrarese, L. (2001), [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001MNRAS.320L..30M  Black hole demographics from the M<math>-\sigma</math> relation], ''Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society'', '''320''', L30-L34</ref>
 
A common use of the M–σ relation is to estimate black hole masses in distant galaxies using the easily  measured quantity σ. Black hole masses in thousands of galaxies have been estimated in this way. The M–σ relation is also used to calibrate so-called secondary and tertiary mass estimators, which relate the black hole mass to the strength of emission lines from hot gas in the nucleus or to the velocity dispersion of gas in the bulge.<ref>Peterson, B. (2008), [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2008NewAR..52..240P  The central black hole and relationships with the host galaxy], ''New Astronomy Reviews'', '''52''', 240-252</ref>
 
The tightness of the M–σ relation has led to suggestions that ''every'' bulge must contain a supermassive black hole. However, the number of galaxies in which the effect of the black hole's gravity on the motion of stars or gas is unambiguously seen is still quite small.<ref>{{Citation
