Distribution of accretion rates derived in this work. Upper panel: histogram of Eddington accretion rate (λ_Edd) for the sources with measured M_BH. Middle panel: histogram of the specific accretion rate (λ_sBHAR, typically used as proxy of λ_Edd), for both the sample with measured BH masses and the full miniJPAS sample. A difference in the shape of distributions can be seen for the subsample with measured BH masses by comparing the green histograms in the upper and middle panels. Lower panel: plot of the relation between λ_sBHAR − λ_Edd. While they are defined to be equal, we found a poor correlation value and a systematic shift from the 1:1 relation in their linear regression (plotted as gray with 1-σ uncertainties in pink).
