Fig. 3.

Variation in normalized total flux (top panel), polarization degree (middle), and polarization position angle (bottom) from our changing-look quasar model seen along four different viewing angles: 10° (a), 45° (b), 60° (c), and 80° (d). In the total flux panels, we show the contribution of the quasar, the host galaxy, and the combination of both using gray dashed lines for the first two angles and a black solid line for the other two angles. Between the first and second long-dashed vertical red lines, the central engine dimmed by a factor of 10 in 6 years. a: observer inclination ∼10° from the polar axis of the model. b: observer inclination ∼45° from the polar axis of the model. c: observer inclination ∼60° from the polar axis of the model. d: observer inclination ∼80° from the polar axis of the model.
