Histogram of the Eddington ratio for z > 5.8 quasars based on the Mg II–based scaling relation of Vestergaard & Osmer (2009, Equation (4)). The bin step is 0.5 dex, which is the same as the systematic uncertainty (Shen 2013). The HSC and CFHQS quasars at Lbol < 1047 erg s−1 are shown in red and green, respectively. The shaded histogram shows all of the z > 5.8 quasars whose Mg II lines have been measured.
