摘要
In active galactic nuclei, the relationship between UV and X-ray luminosity is well studied (often characterised by alpha(ox)) but often with heterogeneous samples. We have parametrized the intrinsic distribution of X-ray luminosity, L-X, for the optically selected sample of SDSS quasars in the Stripe 82 and XXL fields across redshifts 0.5-3.5. We make use of the available XMM observations and a custom pipeline to produce Bayesian sensitivity curves that are used to derive the intrinsic X-ray distribution in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. We find that the X-ray luminosity distribution is well described by a Gaussian function in log10 L-X space with a mean that is dependent on the monochromatic 2500 angstrom UV luminosity, L-2500. We also observe some redshift dependence of the distribution. The mean of the L-X distribution increases with redshift while the width decreases. This weak but significant redshift dependence leads to L2500-LX and L2500-alpha ox relations that evolve with redshift, and we produce a redshift- and L-2500-dependent alpha ox equation. Neither black hole mass nor Eddington ratio appear to be potential drivers of the redshift evolution.
