Model MIR luminosities as a function of the bolometric luminosity. Blue color represents type 1 objects, red represents type 2. The Circinus model is shown with crosses and pluses; NGC 1068 model with squares and triangles. The inclination angles of type 2 objects are indicated: i = 50° (green line), i = 70° (orange line), i = 90° (yellow line).Left panel: wind with 1∕z density profile. Right panel: no wind component. The dotted lines correspond to L_MIR = ξ L_bol with ξ = 1, 1∕3, and 1∕10.
