Line Width and Spectral Index Distributions as Evidence for Axisymmetry in the Broad Line Regions of Active Galaxies
C. M. Rudge, D. J. Raine
We propose that the scatter in line width versus luminosity of the BLR of AGN arises from a dependence on the line of sight to an axially symmetric BLR. Adopting a simple model for…

Line width distributions as evidence for axisymmetry in the broad line regions of active galaxies
C. M. Rudge, D. J. Raine
The nuclei of a wide class of active galaxies emit broad emission lines with widths at half maximum (FWHM) in the range km s. This spread of widths is not so…
