报告摘要:We have completed 2 years of campaign of monitoring about 20 candidates of super-Eddington accreting active galactic nuclei through the Chinese Lijiang 2.4m telescope. Three fundamental things are found from this campaign: 1) super-Eddington accretion AGNs indeed exist, some of which accretion rates can reach up to 400 L_Edd/c^2; 2) Hbeta lags are shortened with increases of accretion rates by a factor from 2 to 4; 3) saturated luminosity of super-Eddington accretion onto black holes. These properties have important implications to accretion physics, evolution of black holes in galaxies and potential application for cosmology.
