Extended Data Fig. 5

BH masses are derived from broad emission lines in the near-infrared (see Methods). Their evolution to z = 0 is indicated by the direction and length of each arrow. Best-fit relations from ref. 5 for local early-type galaxies (black dashed line), late-type galaxies (black dotted line), and both types combined (black solid line; intrinsic scatter of 0.81 dex indicated as shaded gray region). Typical uncertainties are shown in the lower-right corner.
