Distribution of the X-ray photon index Γ as a function of L/ L edd, where L = L bol is estimated using L bol/ L X = 16, with L X = L X (2–10 keV) calculated from L X (0.5–8 keV) using Γ. We show for comparison the measurements of Γ and L/ L edd for the ChaMP (high z) SDSS QSOs with spectra (Green et al. 2009), where both Γ and L/ L edd are calculated in the same way as for the ChaMP galaxies/LLAGNs, with the difference that the bolometric correction for quasars is considered to be L bol/ L X = 83, independent of their luminosity.
