The Quasar Mass-Luminosity Plane III: Smaller Errors on Virial Mass Estimates
Charles L. Steinhardt, Martin Elvis
We use 62185 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR5 sample to explore the quasar mass-luminosity plane view of virial mass estimation. Previous work shows deviations…

The Quasar Mass-Luminosity Plane II: High Mass Turnoff Evolution and a Synchronization Puzzle
Charles L. Steinhardt, Martin Elvis
We use 62,185 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR5 sample and standard virial mass scaling laws based on the widths of H beta, Mg II, and C IV lines and adjacent continuum…

The Quasar Mass-Luminosity Plane I: A Sub-Eddington Limit for Quasars
Charles L. Steinhardt, Martin Elvis
We use 62185 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 sample to explore the relationship between black hole mass and luminosity. Black hole masses were estimated ba…
