ABSTRACT
To study the cosmic history of accretion onto black holes (BH), three measurements are crucial: BH mass, bolometric luminosity and radiative efficiency. An ongoing SDSS reverberation mapping (RM) program provides for the first time significantly improved mass estimates for a large sample of QSOs to redshift 3 in a single field of 7 square degrees. With the XMM-Newton observations and existing X-ray data, we propose to measure with high accuracy bolometric luminosity and Eddington ratio for about 170 of these RM QSOs. We will study their disk/corona systems by determining the shape of the optical/UV/X-ray SED and the variability properties of the inner accretion flow, thus constraining the evolution of radiative efficiency, and, possibly, BH spin.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
