Views of the BLR based on the model. Left: Edge-on view. Here, our line of sight is from the right. Right: Face-on view. The clouds are coloured according to their line-of-sight velocity, and their size corresponds to their apparent brightness (invisible clouds are not shown). The edge-on view shows the impact of the high mid-plane opacity (i.e. few clouds on the far side of the BLR) and anisotropy (clouds for which we see the illuminated side are brighter).
