X-rays across the galaxy population: The distribution of AGN accretion rates as a function of stellar mass and redshift

Description

We provide measurements of the probability distribution function of specific black hole accretion rates within a sample of galaxies of a given stellar mass and redshift, \(p(\log \lambda_{sBHAR} | M_*,z)\). Measurements are provided for all galaxies, star-forming galaxies and quiescent galaxies. We also provide estimates of the AGN duty cycle, \(f(\lambda_{sBHAR} >0.01)\) i.e. the fraction of galaxies with an AGN above a given limit in specific accretion rate, based on the probability distribution functions. Full details are provided in Aird et al. (2018, MNRAS, 474, 1225); please cite this publication if you use these measurements.
