Fig. 1.

Unscaled illustration of the AGN model components. The central SMBH and its accretion disk are merged into a punctual source represented with a black dot. By moving away from the SMBH, the source becomes the electron-scattering region (red). The equatorial electron scattering region becomes the circumnuclear dusty torus (brown). The inner dusty funnel collimates disk-born polar winds (violet). Finally, the host galaxy is shown in black. The vertical long-dashed line is the symmetry axis of the AGN. The short-dashed line is the observer’s viewing angle, whose inclination is defined with respect to the symmetry axis of the model. See text for further details.
