Thomson optical depths (parallel and perpendicular to the outflow) as functions of distance from the black hole. We show two cases: instant acceleration of the outflow (dashed lines) and when an acceleration region is present, i.e., smooth acceleration (solid lines). We used a model with τ∥ = 5 and R0 = 100 Rg, where Rg is the gravitational radius.
