Abstract:
    We investigate the role of host galaxy classification and black hole
    mass (MBH) in a heterogeneous sample of 276 mostly nearby (z<0.1)
    X-ray and IR-selected active galactic nuclei (AGN).

Note (1):
   * Group 1 AGN are Seyfert 1.X AGN (X=0-9) or quasi-stellar objects.
   * Group 2 AGN are everything else (Seyfert 2s, LINERs, low-luminosity
     AGN, starburst/AGN, cross-classified AGN)
Note (2): Activity classification is denoted according to Veron-Cetty and
     Veron (2006A&A...455..773V, Cat. VII/248) except:
     we write Sy3 as L(LINERS) with S3b,S3h denoted by L1 and L2,
     respectively, and S1n are written as NLSy1 (narrow-line Sy1). Other
     classifications include SB = starburst, U = ULIRG.
