SMBH mass and Eddington ratio of APM 08279+5255 derived from Hβ, Mg II and C IV broad emission lines, as a function of the magnification parameter μ.

log(MBHM)
Transition μ = 1 μ = 4 μ = 100

Hβ 10.29 ± 0.32 9.99 ± 0.32 9.29 ± 0.32
Mg II 10.45 ± 0.34 10.14 ± 0.34 9.45 ± 0.34
C IV 10.54 ± 0.31 10.22 ± 0.31 9.48 ± 0.31

Transition μ = 1 μ = 4 μ = 100

Hβ 1.1 ± 0.8 0.5 ± 0.4 0.11 ± 0.08
Mg II 0.8 ± 0.6 0.4 ± 0.3 0.08 ± 0.05
C IV 0.7 ± 0.4 0.4 ± 0.2 0.08 ± 0.05

Notes.The C IV-based estimates rely on the work by Saturni et al. (2016). The Eddington ratio has been computed using a bolometric luminosity derived according to Runnoe et al. (2012a,b).
