Comment on: A SuperMassive Black Hole Fundamental Plane for Ellipticals

Abstract

A simple regression analysis designed for predicting the supermassive black hole mass from the effective radius and mean effective surface brightness of the host bulge has been performed using the data from Barway & Kembhavi (arXiv:0705.1508). The scatter in the log Mbh direction is 0.32 dex, greater than reported and comparable with values obtained using a single predictor quantity such as luminosity, velocity dispersion or Sersic index.
