SEAMBHs. V. The third year

Ten new targets were selected from the quasar sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), which have generally been more luminous than the SEAMBH candidates in the last two years. H{beta} lags ({tau}_H{beta}_) in five of the 10 quasars have been successfully measured in this monitoring season.

We find that the lags are generally shorter, by large factors, than those of objects with same optical luminosity, in light of the well-known R_H{beta}_-L_5100_ relation. The five quasars have dimensionless accretion rates of dM/dt=10-10^3^. Combining these with measurements of the previous SEAMBHs, we find that the reduction of H{beta} lags depends tightly on accretion rates, {tau}_H{beta}_/{tau}_R-L_{propto}(dM/dt)^-0.42^, where {tau}_R-L_ is the H{beta} lag from the normal R_H{beta}_-L_5100_ relation.
