Eddington ratio distribution function, adapted from Tucci & Volonteri (2017) and updated using the measurements from Aird et al. (2018); see Section 2.4 for details. The top panel shows the ERDF plotted as the probability P(λ) per unit ﹩\mathrm{log}(\lambda )﹩ as a function of λ and z for an SMBH mass of M = 10⁹ M_⊙, and the bottom panel shows the same for an SMBH mass of M = 10⁶ M_⊙.
