Table A.1.

Sample statistics of the various sub-samples in each give selection.

Notes. (1) These number counts refer to the sample statistics before correcting for overlaps amongst the sub-samples. (2) Sample statistics after accounting for overlaps and some preliminary selection (e.g RL, BAL, off-axis angle in the X-rays). The order of priority decreases from the leftmost to the rightmost column.

(a)

See Sect. 2.6.

(b)

35 quasars = 29 sources from Salvestrini et al. (2019) and 6 from Vito et al. (2019).

( † )Seven X-ray weak quasars are amongst the 15 objects excluded (see Nardini et al. 2019 for details).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
