Radio and X-ray-emitting broad-line AGNs

We use a recently released SDSS catalog of X-ray-emitting AGNs in conjunction with the FIRST radio survey to investigate the black hole (BH) fundamental plane relationship between the 1.4GHz radio luminosity (L_r_), 0.1-2.4keV X-ray luminosity (L_X_), and black hole mass (M), namely, logL_r_={xi}_RX_logL_X_+{xi}_RM_logM+constant. For this purpose, we compile a large sample of 725 broad-line AGNs, which consists of 498 radio-loud sources and 227 radio-quiet sources.

We confirm that radio-loud objects have a steeper slope ({xi}_RX_) with respect to radio-quiet objects and that the dependence of the BH fundamental plane on the BH mass ({xi}_RM_) is weak.
