Resumen
We present a study of the host bulge properties and their relations with the blackhole mass on a sample of 10 intermediate-type active galactic nuclei (AGN). Our sample consists mainly of early type spirals, four of them hosting a bar. For 70⁺¹⁰₋₁₇% of thegalaxies we have been able to determine the type of the bulge, and find that these objects probably harbor a pseudobulge or a combination of classical bulge/ pseudobulge, suggesting that pseudobulges mightbe frequent in intermediate-typeAGN. In our sample, 50 ± 14% of the objects show double-peaked emission lines. Therefore, narrowdouble-peaked emission lines seem to be frequent in galaxies harboring a pseudobulgeor a combination of classical bulge/ pseudobulge. Depending on the bulge type, we estimated the black hole mass using the corresponding MBH -σ*relation and found them with a range of: 5.69±0.21 <log Mσ*BH <8.09±0.24. Comparing these Mσ*BH values with masses derived from the FWHM of Hβ and the continuum luminosity at 5100 Å from their SDSS-DR7 spectra (MBH) we find that eight out of ten (80⁺⁷₋₁₇%) galaxies have black hole masses that are compatible within a factor of 3.This result would support that MBH and Mσ*BH are the same for intermediate-typeAGN as has been found for type 1 AGN. However, when the type of the bulge istaken into account only 3 out of the 7 (43⁺¹⁸₋₁₅%) objects of the sample have their Mσ*BH and MBH compatible within 3-σ errors. We also find that estimations basedon the MBH–σ*relation for pseudobulges are not compatible in 50±20% of theobjects.
