Scientific paper

A statistical analysis is performed of the X-ray properties of 247 quasars in the 0.5-4.5 keV band observed from the Einstein Observatory, as an introduction to a large-scale study of X-ray quasars and active nuclei. It is found that: (1) among all the 1619 known quasars of various magnitudes and redshifts, those detected as X-ray sources are of nearly equal percentage; (2) there exist weak correlations between optical emissions and X-ray emissions, implying that the emitting regions in the optical, high-frequency radio, and X-ray bands are similar; (3) there is a strong correlation between the ratio of the equivalent widths of the emission H-beta and the forbidden line O III and the X-ray luminosity indicator for type-1 Seyfert galaxies; and (4) neither the color index U - B or B - V correlates with X-ray emission, but U - B correlates weakly with B - V.
