Fits per source

Shu et al. (2012) 1.64 ± 0.03* −0.11 ± 0.03 32 (RQ) Chandra/HEG
Shu et al. (2010) 1.63 ± 0.04* −0.13 ± 0.04 33 (RQ+RL) Chandra/HEG

Notes. The model commonly used to fit the data is log EW = A + Blog LX,44, where LX,44 is the 2–10 keV luminosity in units of 1044 erg s. The table is divided into works for which the fit was done per observation (i.e., using all the available observations for every source of the sample) and per source (i.e., averaging the values of EW and L X of different observations of the same source). The table lists (1) the reference; (2) the value of the intercept; (3) the value of the slope; (4) the number and type of objects in the sample; (5) the observatory and instrument used. Dashes are given when the value is not available.

(*)

These values of the intercepts were corrected in order to be consistent with Eq. (5), because those reported in Shu et al. (2010, 2012) are relative to the 2–10 keV luminosity in units of 1043 erg s (LX,43).
