Can X-ray Observations Improve Optical-UV-based Accretion-Rate Estimates for Quasars?
Andrea Marlar, Ohad Shemmer, Michael S. Brotherton +2
Current estimates of the normalized accretion rates of quasars (L/L_Edd), rely on measuring the velocity widths of broad optical-UV emission lines (e.g., H and Mg II $\lambda280…

Steep Hard-X-ray Spectra Indicate Extremely High Accretion Rates in Weak Emission-Line Quasars
Andrea Marlar, Ohad Shemmer, S. F. Anderson +8
We present XMM-Newton imaging spectroscopy of ten weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) at , six of which are radio quiet and four which are radio intermediate.…
