L/ L Edd vs. M BH for type-II sources (red points) and for two assumptions about type-I sources: simple virial assumption (black points) and modified estimates (Equation (3)) that include radiation pressure force term with a rad = 6.5 (blue points). Note the reduced ranges in M BH and L/ L Edd and the very different distribution compared with type-II sources, when the modified estimate is used.
