dc.description.abstract | We investigate the observed relationship between black hole mass (M<SUB>BH</SUB>), bolometric luminosity (L<SUB>bol</SUB>) and Eddington ratio (λ<SUB>Edd</SUB>) with optical emission-line ratios ([N II] λ6583/Hα, [S II] λλ6716, 6731/Hα, [O I] λ6300/Hα, [O III] λ5007/Hβ, [Ne III] λ3869/Hβ and He II λ4686/Hβ) of hard X-ray-selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) from the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey. We show that the [N II] λ6583/Hα ratio exhibits a significant correlation with λ<SUB>Edd</SUB> (R<SUB>Pear</SUB> = -0.44, p-value = 3 × 10<SUP>-13</SUP>, σ = 0.28 dex), and the correlation is not solely driven by M<SUB>BH</SUB> or L<SUB>bol</SUB>. The observed correlation between [N II] λ6583/Hα ratio and M<SUB>BH</SUB> is stronger than the correlation with L<SUB>bol</SUB>, but both are weaker than the λ<SUB>Edd</SUB> correlation. This implies that the large-scale narrow lines of AGN host galaxies carry information about the accretion state of the AGN central engine. We propose that [N II] λ6583/Hα is a useful indicator of Eddington ratio with 0.6 dex of rms scatter, and that it can be used to measure λ<SUB>Edd</SUB> and thus M<SUB>BH</SUB> from the measured L<SUB>bol</SUB>, even for high-redshift obscured AGN. We briefly discuss possible physical mechanisms behind this correlation, such as the mass-metallicity relation, X-ray heating, and radiatively driven outflows. | en_US |
