Disk irradiation flux profiles for varying emitting ring radii, x, for (a) a ring at h = 3rg and (b) a ring of varying height with radius fixed at x = 3rg, a BH spin of a = 0.998, and an irradiating source with Γ = 2. The solid black line is for the lamp post case, x = 0, for h = 3rg in (a) and h = 6rg in (b). The dashed line shows a power-law flux ∝rd−3. Markers of the same color on each curve show the disk radius equal to the primary source radius, rd ≡ x. The normalization of the fluxes is set to the non-relativistic limit at large radii (see Appendix B).
