    (2020) Duras, F.; Bongiorno, A.; Ricci, F.; Piconcelli, E.; Shankar, F.; Lusso, E.; Bianchi, S.; Fiore, F.; Maiolino, R.; Marconi, A.; Onori, F.; Sani, E.; Schneider, R.; Vignali, C.; La Franca, F.
    Context. The AGN bolometric correction is a key element for understanding black hole (BH) demographics and computing accurate BH accretion histories from AGN luminosities. However, current estimates still differ from each other by up to a factor of two to three, and rely on extrapolations at the lowest and highest luminosities.
