Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We consider the physical properties of matter outflow from active galactic nuclei in a unification model. The unification model of the outflow assumes that the source of the absorbing matter is the internal surface of the obscuring torus, and the model includes two-phase gas dynamics, radiation transfer and absorption spectrum calculations in the ultraviolet and X-ray bands. We analyse the radial dependences of ionization, radiation pressure and absorption features on the model input parameters. We briefly discuss several questions about the mass source of the flow, its covering factors, the nature of narrow absorption details and others.
