Notes.

(a)

In units of km s−1.

(b)

Rest frame EWs reported with normalised spectra at 1700 Å are in units of Å.

(c)

UV diagnostic ratios from MS14 for Pop. A sources.

(d)

UV diagnostic ratio from MS14 for Pop. B sources.

(e)

Log of MBH are computed using the scale relations by M22 in units of M.

(f)

Log of line luminosity in units of ergs s−1; uncertainties are 10% of the value.

(g)

Log of bolometric luminosity in unit of ergs s−1 computed using the continuum window at 1700 Å.

(h)

REdd is the Eddington ratio.

(i)

Log of virial luminosity in units of ergs s−1; uncertainties are 10% of the value.
