Γ vs. Δα _ox values for all of the objects in our sample. The markers have the same designation as the top panel in Figure 4. The Chandra/HST, SDSS-RM, and Nardini et al. (2019) samples are highlighted in black to distinguish them from the rest of the distribution. The cut we implement as a function of both Γ and Δα _ox is shown as the diagonal gray dashed line. Tracks showing the effects of varying levels of absorption are shown by the solid gray lines. The absorption increases down and to the left along each track, as shown by the black sideways triangles on the z = 2.5 track, with values of N _H = 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 × 10²³ cm⁻², respectively. The redshift increases from the left track to the right from 0.5 to 2.5 in steps of 0.5. These tracks shown are indicative of a neutral absorber; however, for absorbers that are complex or partially ionized we would expect less of a reduction on Γ as the absorber column density increases, as these absorbers are not capable of blocking all incoming soft photons (Gallagher et al. 2006). The data points are colored by the C IV ∥ distance and illustrate a connection between the X-ray and emission-line properties of quasars.
