AGN from our lightcone scattered in the L_X–ℳ plane, separated into type 1 (blue) and type 2 (orange) AGN. The points in the central panel show the distribution of all the sources, while the solid contours and the histograms from the upper and right panel correspond to sources selected above F_X = 1.9 × 10^–15 erg s^–1 cm^–2. We show also the distribution of sources from the Chandra COSMOS Legacy Spectral Survey (Marchesi et al. 2016b), with the same cut in F_X, and separated into type 1 (cyan) and type 2 (pink) AGN. The contour levels represen iso-density lines, corresponding to the 50th, 75th, 90th, and 99th percentiles of the distribution. The dash-dotted and dotted black lines mark the locus where λ_SBHAR = 0.01 and 1, respectively, which assuming a mean bolometric correction of k_bol = 25 and a constant mass ratio of black hole to host galaxy of M_BH ≈ 0.002ℳ correspond approximately to 1 and 100% of the Eddington limit, respectively.
