Structure and spectra of exemplary clouds simulated with CLOUDY at constant pressure, assuming log(Ptot) = 16 cm−3 K, Vturb = 100 km s−1, Nc = 1024 cm−2 and Z = 10 Z⊙. The assumed values of ionizing fluxes are logΦ(H) = 18 cm−2 s−1 (displayed in green), 20 cm−2 s−1 (black) and 21 cm−2 s−1 (blue). An additional example with logΦ(H) = 18 cm−2 s−1 and the addition of extra mechanical heating is displayed in red. Top left: Cloud temperature profile in logarithmic scale as a function of depth (z) of the cloud. Top right: Cloud density profile in logarithmic scale as a function of depth (z) of the cloud. Bottom: Spectra of Fe II emission from different models, displayed with 100% covering factor. Each synthetic spectrum is broadened with a Gaussian kernel with FWHM = 2500 km s−1.
