The study of supermassive galactic black holes (BH) has moved beyond discovery to maturity. The are now ∼ 15 reliable detections. The mass of a central black hole apparently correlates with the mass of the hot component of its galactic host. It may be that every normal galaxy has a supermassive black hole carrying about 10−3 of its bulge mass, with important consequences for the structure and evolution of the core of the galaxy. The most recent major review is by Kormendy & Richstone (1995, KR).
