2 Co-evolution of SMBHs and their host galaxies Mergers funnel gas into the centers of galaxies (gravitational torques) AGN feedback regulates star formation Many mergers MBH/Mbulge relation builds through central limit theorem Kormendy & Ho (2013)
3 Co-evolution of SMBHs and their host galaxies Mergers funnel gas into the centers of galaxies (gravitational torques) W1-W2 > 0.8 W1-W2 > 0.5 BPT Empirically, AGN enhancement with merger stage is exactly what we see! Ellison+13; Satyapal+14
4 Co-evolution of SMBHs and their host galaxies Mergers funnel gas into the centers of galaxies (gravitational torques) Empirically, AGN enhancement with merger stage is exactly what we see! Not the whole story: AGN enhancement depends on stellar mass ratio Ellison+11
5 Co-evolution of SMBHs and their host galaxies Mergers funnel gas into the centers of galaxies (gravitational torques) Empirically, AGN enhancement with merger stage is exactly what we see! Not the whole story: Minor mergers enhance AGN activity in the primary galaxy Ellison+11
6 Co-evolution of SMBHs and their host galaxies Mergers funnel gas into the centers of galaxies (gravitational torques) Empirically, AGN enhancement with merger stage is exactly what we see! Not the whole story: Little enhancement seen in smaller galaxy of a minor merger Ellison+11
7 Furthermore... The most powerful Swift BAT AGNs in mergers are all in major mergers! Typical X-ray luminosities: ~ erg s-1 Koss+12

10 What caught my eye... Despite an enormous AGN luminosity of over 1045 erg s-1 (MEdd > 107 M ), no hint of a stellar counterpart was found in the optical spectrum (< 15%: Tran 1995) Moran+92
11 What caught my eye... Despite an enormous AGN luminosity of over 1045 erg s-1 (MEdd > 107 M ), no hint of a stellar counterpart was found in the optical spectrum (< 15%: Tran 1995) Moran+92 However, this was years before the discovery of the M-σ relation McConnell & Ma (2013)

13 Goals of this work: 1. Locate and characterize the stellar counterpart to the luminous AGN Was 49b 2. Determine the merger mass ratio of the Was 49 system 3. Constrain the SMBH mass in Was 49b

27 Interpretation Rotation curve + stellar mass ratio: coplanar, minor (1:10) merger Secondary BH grows much more than primary However: Input BHs between M (disk galaxies) This assumption supported by data! Given similar Eddington ratio, stellar mass, M likely missed in the optical!
28 Conclusions Was 49b hosts a SMBH ~ 2.3% the mass of its host Despite enormous luminosity and BH mass, in a minor ~ 1:10 merger Potentially yield insights into the role of minor mergers in AGN triggering Was 49b stats: MBH = 1.3 x 108 M M = 5.6 x 109 M Lbol ~ 2 x 1045 erg s-1 NH = 2.3 x 1023 cm-2
