Empirical Conversions of Broad-Band Optical and Infrared Magnitudes to Monochromatic Continuum Luminosities for Active Galactic Nuclei

We use public data for 105 783 quasars from The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) that include spectral monochromatic luminosities at 5100 Å, 3000 Å, and 1350 Å, and the corresponding observed broad-band ugriz, VRI (converted), JHK and WISE magnitudes, and derive broad-band-to-monochromatic luminosity ratios independent of a cosmological model. The ratios span the redshift range of z = 0.1 ÷ 4.9 and may serve as a proxy for measuring the bolometric luminosity, broad line region (BLR) radii and/or black hole masses, whenever flux-calibrated spectra are unavailable or the existing spectra have low signal-to-noise ratios. They are provided both in tabular and parametric form.
