From Figure 9 we observe as the pair velocity decreases -because of the closer interaction of the quasar pairs- the redshift (and thus the luminosity) increases. This is because accretion onto SMBHs releases energy that drives outflows which correlates to high luminosities seen in Figure 12.  The distribution of data points in Figure 10 indicate that we observe smaller wavelengths from the quasar pair as the separation between the quasars increases. \cite{Liu_2011} noted that we have only 24 quasar pairs with redshift larger than 0.16 ,this is cleary seen in Figure 10.  From Figure 11, we observe that as the separation between quasar pairs decreases the accretion rate, thus the luminosity of the core increases.
