Steep Hard-X-Ray Spectra Indicate Extremely High Accretion Rates in Weak Emission-line Quasars

© 2018. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. We present XMM-Newton imaging spectroscopy of 10 weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) at , six of which are radio-quiet, and four that are radio-intermediate. The new X-ray data enabled us to measure the power-law photon index, at rest-fra...
