Eddington ratio governs the equivalent width of MgII emission line in active galactic nuclei (2009)

Abstract
We have investigated the ensemble regularities of the equivalent widths (EWs) of MgII 2800 emission line of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), using a uniformly selected sample of 2092 Seyfert 1 galaxies and quasars at 0.45 . Comment: 5 pages, expanded discussion on Baldwin effect, added refs. Matches version to appear in ApJ Letters
