Cze�� everyone,
Has anybody heard about estimations of black hole mass in normal nonactive galaxies ?? I mean some names, papers etc. mostly about statistics of BH mass distribution.
The first talk I heard where there was a strong claim that supermassive BH's (SBHs) exist in *most* galaxies, maybe all, was a review talk at the Kyoto (1997) IAU. The general opinion is that there is an observational relation between bulge mass - of all galaxies - and SBH mass. The most "late-type" spirals, which should really be called "disk" galaxies, have small bulges, and so are expected to have the lowest mass SBHs.
Observationally, the mass is between the velocity dispersion of the bulge "sigma" and the SBH mass (OK, that is not directly observed either).
Here's a nice long list. I wonder if something in the software between my computer and the final web archive will cut off the string which is longer than 80 characters...

I've picked what seem (to me) to be the interesting ones.
I remember that from astro-ph abstracts, there has been debate about whether the relation M_SBH/M_bulge is linear (always about 15%) or non-linear. Since almost no astrophysical mass relation has nice power law indexes, I'm sure it's unlikely to be exactly unity, and more likely to be a broken power law with two regimes ;-) - the trick will be to work out why, and separate the cosmological and non-cosmological parts...
I've ***-ed the explicitly non-AGN articles.

Thanks for asking for that. It gave me a good excuse to look up some fun stuff which I'm not working on directly. Which will be useful as a reference later on (if it's not outdated).
You'll have to do the work of finding the published references, at http://cdsads.u-strasbg.fr/, not everybody takes the effort to add these to astro-ph...
