An extended size-luminosity relation for the reverberation-mapped AGNs: the role of the accretion rate

Li-Ming Yu, Bi-Xuan Zhao, Wei-Hao Bian +2

For a compiled sample of 120 reverberation-mapped AGNs, the bivariate correlations of the broad-line regions (BLRs) size ($R_{\mathrm{BLR}}$) with the continuum luminosity at 5100 Å ($L…
