Notes.

(a)

z estimated from the Mg II emission line if not stated otherwise;

(b)

estimated from luminosity 3000 Å (Richards et al. 2006);

(c)

for the HYPERION sources we report the values of the MBH and the estimated Ms, Edd from Zappacosta et al. (2023), for the Non-HYPERION from Mazzucchelli et al. (2023), Farina et al. (2022) re-scaled using the same cosmological estimators as in Zappacosta et al. (2023), if present;

(d)

when more than one vC․IV and REWC IV values is present in the literature, for simplicity, we report the mean values derived using all the available values reported in Table 3, the errors are the mean of the errors. We note that the correlation analysis takes into account all the existing values of vC․IV (see Section 3.2).

(†)

z estimated from the [C II] emission line.

(⋆)

z estimated from the Ly α emission line.

(*)

Error not reported in the literature.
