Notes. For each object (Col. 1), in Col. 2 the black hole mass is given as estimated from reverberation mapping except for NGC 1068, for which the dynamical mass estimate is given. Column 3 gives the disk mass inside the radius denoted in Col. 4, either estimated from the dynamical mass or from the K-band luminosity. Column 5 gives the efficiency of accretion luminosity ϵL = Lacc/LEdd from observation, from which the accretion rate BH = ϵL/ϵM·(1 − ϵMMBH/τ can be calculated, where ϵM is the mass accretion efficiency with a typical value of 0.3 and τ is the characteristical accretion timescale with a value of ≈0.23  Gyr (see Shapiro 2005).
