Location of blue outliers (open squares) on the ﹩M_{\mathrm{BH}\,}- \sigma ﹩ plane in comparison to the full NLS1 (filled circles) and BLS1 (open circles) sample (KX07). Left: The leftmost panel is based on σ measurements from the narrow core of [O III] λ5007 (asymmetric blue wings were removed). Blue outliers in [O III] (with radial velocities larger than 150 km s﹩^{-1}﹩) are marked with an open square. Object names are coded by number (1, SBS 0919+515; 2, SDSS J11555+0107; 3, RX J01354−0043; 4, NGC 450‐86; 5, SDSS J03261+0114; 6, IRAS 11598−0112; 7, SDSS J17184+5734; 8, PG 1244+026; 9, RX J09132+3658). The second panel shows the same relation based on [S II]. NLS1 and BLS1 galaxies follow the same ﹩M_{\mathrm{BH}\,}- \sigma _{[ \mathrm{SII}\,] }﹩ relation. The dashed and solid lines represent the ﹩M_{\mathrm{BH}\,}- \sigma _{*}﹩ relation of nonactive galaxies of Tremaine et al. (2002) and Ferrarese & Ford (2005), respectively. Two objects with independent BH mass (PG 1244+026) and stellar velocity dispersion (RX J01354−0043) estimates are marked with special symbols (blue cross: PG 1244+026; green asterisk: RX J01354−0043). Right: Deviation ﹩\Delta \sigma ﹩ of NLS1 and BLS1 galaxies from the ﹩M_{\mathrm{BH}\,}- \sigma _{*}﹩ relation of Ferrarese & Ford (2005) in dependence of [O III] radial velocity, ﹩\Delta v﹩, measured with respect to [S II].
