Scientific paper

Our collaboration has recently identified an interesting relation between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass and the pitch angle of spiral arms in disk galaxies whose SMBH mass has been measured with some precision. We discuss this relation and the uses to which it might be put in permitting estimates of SMBH mass for distant normal galaxies for which only imaging data is available, as well as its possible significance for our understanding of galactic structure.
