New kinematic data and modeling efforts in the past few years have substantially expanded and revised dynamical measurements of black hole masses (M•) at the centers of nearby galaxies. Here we compile an updated sample of 72 black holes and their host galaxies, and present revised scaling relations between M • and stellar velocity dispersion (σ), V-band luminosity (L), and bulge stellar mass (Mbulge), for different galaxy subsamples. Our best-fitting power law relations for the full galaxy sample are log10(M•) = 8.32 + 5.64 log10(σ/200 km s −1), log10(M•) = 9.23 + 1.11 log10(L/10 11 L), and log10(M•) = 8.46+1.05 log10(Mbulge/10 11M). A log-quadratic fit to the M•−σ relation with an additional term of β2 [log10(σ/200 km s −1)]2 gives β2 = 1.68 ± 1.82 and does not decrease the intrinsic scatter in M•. Including 92 additional upper limits on M • does not change the slope of the M • − σ relation. When the early- and late-type galaxies are fit separately, we obtain similar slopes of 5.20 and 5.06 for the M•−σ relation but significantly different intercepts – M • in early-type galaxies are about 2 times higher than in late types at a given sigma. Within early-type galaxies, our fits to M•(σ) give M • that is about 2 times higher in galaxies with central core profiles than those with central power-law profiles. Our M • − L and M • −Mbulge relations for early-type galaxies are similar to those from earlier compilations, and core and power-law galaxies yield similar L- and Mbulge-based predictions for M•. When the conventional quadrature method is used to determine the intrinsic scatter in M•, our dataset shows weak evidence for increased scatter at Mbulge < 10 11M or LV < 1010.3 L, while the scatter stays constant for 1011 < Mbulge < 10 12.3M and 1010.3 < LV < 1011.5 L. A Bayesian analysis indicates that a larger sample of M • measurements would be needed to detect any statistically significant trend in the scatter with galaxy properties. Subject headings: 1
