cds-question@unistra.frquasarsactive-galactic-nucleiredshiftedradio-astronomygalaxy-kinematicsIt has been proposed that the width of the narrow [O III] {lambda}5007 emission line can be used as a surrogate for the stellar velocity dispersion in active galaxies. This proposition is tested using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Early Data Release (EDR) spectra of 107 low-redshift radio-quiet QSOs and Seyfert 1 galaxies by investigating the correlation between black hole mass, as determined from H{beta} FWHM and optical luminosity, and [O III] FWHM. The correlation is real, but the scatter is large. Without additional information or selection criteria, the [O III] width can predict the black hole mass to a factor of 5.2003ApJ...585..647Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/585/647CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/AJ/123/567 : SDSS quasar catalog.
