The Low-Mass End of the MBH/Mhost Relation in Quasars

The MBH-Mhost relation in quasars has been probed only in a limited parameter space, namely, at MBH∼109 M⊙ and Mhost∼1012  M⊙. Here we present a study of 26 quasars laying in the low-mass end of the relation, down to MBH∼107 M⊙. We selected quasars from the SDSS and HST-FOS archives, requiring modes...
