Abstract
The strong correlation observed between black-hole and bulge mass in the local Universe (eg. Magorrian et al. 1998; Gebhardt et al. 2000) directly implies that the evolution of the supermassive black holes and their host galaxies are intimately related. In this proceedings we present one of the main results of our recent paper (McLure & Dunlop 2003) which analyses the evolution of quasar black-hole masses drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) first data release (Schneider et al. 2003).
