Comparison of BBQSORS with LRDs at z  < 4.5 from A. de Graaff et al. (2025) and the XRD from R. E. Hviding et al. (2026) in the λV TBB, LBB TBB, and LHαLBB planes. Here, λV represents the wavelength where the V-shaped feature emerges. In the left panel, the solid line indicates the Balmer limit. In the middle panel, the solid line shows the expected LBBTBB relation for a fiducial LRD-like photospheric radius (K. Inayoshi & L. C. Ho 2025), with dashed lines indicating offsets of ±1 dex. In the right panel, the dashed line represents the 1:1 relation and the solid line shows the same relation shifted by −1.2 dex.
