Velocity-resolved Ionization Mapping of the Broad-line Region. II. Signatures of Eccentric Broad-line Regions from a Quantitative Photoionization-Based Model
Velocity-resolved reverberation mapping (RM) is one of the most powerful tools for probing the geometry and kinematics of the broad-line region in active galactic nuclei. However, its interpretation may be non-unique, as similar velocity-delay signatures can arise from different combinations of BLR geometry and kinematics. To address this degeneracy, this series of studies develops velocity-resolved ionization mapping (IM) as a complementary technique. In this second paper of the series, we cons…
