摘要

Context. The observed relation between the X-rayradiation from active galactic nuclei, originating in the corona, andthe optical/UVradiation from the disk is usually described bythe anticorrelation between the UVto X-ray slope and the UVluminosity. Many factors can affect this relation,including: i) enhanced X-ray emission associated with the jets ofradio-loud AGNs, ii) X-ray absorption associated with theUVbroad absorption line (BAL) outflows, iii) other X-rayabsorption not associated with BALs, iv) intrinsic X-ray weakness, v)UVand X-ray variability, and non-simultaneity ofUVand X-ray observations. The separation of these effectsprovides information about the intrinsic relation and its dispersion, constraining models of disk-coronacoupling. Aims. We use simultaneous UV/X-ray observations toremove the influence of non-simultaneous measurements from the relation.Methods. We extract simultaneous data from thesecond XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue(XMMSSC) and the XMM-Newton Optical MonitorSerendipitous UVSource Survey catalogue (XMMOMSUSS), andderive the single-epoch indices. We use ensemble structure functions to analyse multi-epochdata. Results. We confirm the anticorrelation of with ,and do not find any evidence of a dependence of on z. The dispersion in our simultaneous data ()is not significantly smaller than in previous non-simultaneous studies,suggesting that ``artificial variability'' introduced by non-simultaneity is not the main cause ofdispersion. ``Intrinsic variability'', i.e., the true variability of the X-ray to opticalratio, is instead important, and accounts for 30% of the total variance, or more.``Inter-source dispersion'', due to intrinsic differences in theaverage values from source to source, is also important. The dispersionintroduced by variability is mostly caused by the long timescalevariations, which are expected to be driven by the optical variations.
