Filtered AGN spectral energy distributions described in Sect. 3.8. These correspond to escape fractions of 0.28 (solid black line), 0.50 (solid red line), 0.74 (solid blue line) and 0.90 (solid cyan line). For comparison, we also show the emergent distribution from a typical ionization-bounded model (dashed black line): the UV part of the spectrum has been completely absorbed, while some X-rays still escape through the cloud. The vertical axis (normalized flux density or S_ν) gives the power per unit area per unit frequency in arbitrary units. The escape fractions are in photon number flux, while the SEDs are plotted in energy flux per unit frequency (S_ν).
