Notes. The L_bol, use for each target is also presented.

^(a)

log L_{bol, 14 − 195 keV} from Koss et al. (2017) and Baumgartner et al. (2013).

^(b)

Based on converting the log λL_λ(5100 Å) to log L_{bol,5100 Å} using the prescription from Trakhtenbrot et al. (2017).

^(c)

log L_{bol,5100 Å} calculated from Pan et al. (2021).
