Oral title: The BH mass - galaxy scaling relations in the local Universe: what is the role of type 2 AGN Oral abstract: Type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGN) represent the majority of the AGN population. However, due to the difficulties in measuring their black hole (BH) masses, it is still unknown whether they follow the same BH–host galaxy scaling relations valid for quiescent galaxies and type 1 AGN. In the past years we carried out a systematic deep NIR spectroscopic study of a sample of ~40 type 2 AGN, drawn from the complete SWIFT/BAT X-ray catalog. Here, we present the locus of type 2 AGN having virial BH mass estimates in the BH−σ and BH-Lbul planes, putting a missing piece to the AGN/galaxy coevolution.
