Table 6.

Input parameters for the AGN model used in the STOKES simulations. Rin and Rout are the inner and outer radii of the region, respectively.

Continuum source (disk)
Spectral slope α 1
Unpolarized continuum

Accretion disk
Rin 10−5 pc
Rout 10−3 pc
Width 10−4 pc
τe ≫1

BLR (flared disk)
Rin 10−3 pc
Rout 10−1 pc
θop 70°
τe 0.1

Torus (flared disk)
Rin 10−1 pc
Rout 5 pc
θop 30°–60°
τd 50

Polar outflows (cones)
Rin 10−2 pc
Rout 10 pc
θop 30°–60°
τe 0.03

Notes. θop is the half-opening angle of the region, defined with respect to the vertical axis of the system. τe and τd are the electron and dust optical thickness, respectively. The dust model follows the standard “Milky Way” prescription (Weingartner & Draine 2001).
