摘要: The X-ray and mid-IR emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are strongly correlated. However, while various published parameterizations of this correlation consistent with the low-redshift, local Seyfert galaxy population, extrapolations these relations to high luminosity differ by an order magnitude at nuL(nu)(6um) = 1e47 erg/s. Using data Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, we determine luminosities most luminous quasars Sloan Digital Sky present a revised formulation relation AGN which is appropriate regime powerful quasar regime.
