Scientific paper

There is a relation between radio and X-ray luminosities and SMBH mass: the Fundamental Plane. If radio and X-ray are proxies for jet and accretion power, a broad link between them can be inferred. The relation may be used as a proxy for M_BH measurement, but the scatter is big (0.75 dex; sample of 18). Without Seyferts it is tighter than the M-sigma relation (0.25; sample of 8). It is vital to determine if this is from small numbers or a stronger link between accretion and jets at low Eddington rates. We propose to increase the sample with 37-68 ks observations (197 tot.) of 5 SMBHs with dynamical masses ideal for XMM. Together with VLA data, we can increase the total sample by 25% and the LLAGN sample by 50%, advancing our understanding of accretion, jets, and AGN feedback.
