The role of the Eddington luminosity in a model of activity proposed earlier (Katz and Kontorovich 1990a,b, 1991) based on momentum compensation during galaxy mergers (Toomre 1972) is discussed. In spite of the fundamental dependence of the probability of merging on galaxy mass, this quantity is nearly constant, supporting the consistency obtained earlier between the observed mass functions for galaxies and the luminosity functions for quasars in a merger model.
