We show how the lag–energy spectrum changes with the BH mass in the frequency band ΔfXMM = (0.9−3.6) × 10−4 Hz, for a few representative MBH = (1, 2, 5, 10, 20) × M6, where M6 = 106 M. Note that we show the lags in units of Rg/c, so its magnitude in physical units should be multiplied with MBH. (a) For the SE disk, the profile of the lag–energy spectrum remains almost constant as the MBH increases all the way up to 2 × 107 M. (b), (c) For a thin disk, its lag–energy profile changes substantially with MBH. Also the lag magnitude does not exactly scale linearly with MBH.
