Two-dimensional histograms of simulated WCI, RBI for the C IV emission line. These indices were measured from simulated line profiles that arise from the BLR models KD, PW, and EW seen at inclinations 22°, 34°, 44°, and 62°. The BLR models with an emissivity ϵ0 (rin/r)q that sharply decreases with radius, i.e., q = 3, are illustrated in the left panel, while those that are characterized by a more slowly decreasing emissivity, i.e., q = 1.5, are illustrated in the right panel. Each model also contains a continuum-emitting disk seen under the same inclination. All continuum source radii and BLR sizes used in the simulations are considered, but only the models that reproduce the μcont and μBLR values measured for the C IV emission line are shown, i.e., 2.8 ≤ μcont ≤ 3.3 and 2.24 ≤ μBLR ≤ 2.78 (Table 1). The color map is logarithmic. The WCI and RBI values measured for C IV are plotted with their uncertainties as a small rectangle superimposed on the simulated WCI, RBI distributions.
