Eddington ratio Distribution of X-ray selected broad-line AGNs at 1.0<z<2.2
Hyewon Suh, Guenther Hasinger, Charles Steinhardt +2
We investigate the Eddington ratio distribution of X-ray selected broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the redshift range 1.0<z<2.2, where the number density of AGNs peaks. C…
Do the Most Massive Black Holes at Grow via Major Mergers?
M. Mechtley, K. Jahnke, R. A. Windhorst +11
The most frequently proposed model for the origin of quasars holds that the high accretion rates seen in luminous active galactic nuclei are primarily triggered during major merger…
The cosmic growth of the active black hole population at 1<z<2 in zCOSMOS, VVDS and SDSS
A. Schulze, A. Bongiorno, I. Gavignaud +11
We present a census of the active black hole population at 1<z<2, by constructing the bivariate distribution function of black hole mass and Eddington ratio, employing a maximum li…
