Notes. M is the stellar mass, acc the accretion rate through the disk, and taccM/acc the characteristic accretion age. (1000 AU) is the H2 density at 1000 AU of an envelope in free fall at rate acc onto a star of mass M. It scales as accM-0.5, like the wind density field, and thus acts as a proxy for the latter quantity. Lhs ≡ 0.5GMacc/R is the accretion hot-spot luminosity and Rsub the dust sublimation radius as calculated by DUSTY (see Appendix C). For each source model, synthetic line profiles were calculated for a grid of maximum launch radii = 3.2, 6.4, 12.8, and 25.6 au and inclination angles i = 30°, 60°, and 80° from pole-on.
