Poster Title: The growing black holes in Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies

Abstract: One of the most fundamental relations found among nearby galaxies and AGN is the M-sigma relation between the black hole mass and the bulge stellar velocity dispersion. However, Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) seem to deviate from this relation. I will show in my talk that the reason for this deviation is that NLS1s are AGN in a young state of their development and their black hole mass is still evolving.
