BASS. LIII. The Eddington Ratio as the Primary Regulator of the Fraction of X-Ray Emission in Active Galactic Nuclei

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) emit radiation via accretion across the entire energy spectrum. While the standard disk and corona model can somewhat describe this emission, it fails to predict specific features such as the soft X-ray excess, the short-term optical/UV variability, and the observed UV/X...
