Scientific paper

The interaction of the radiation field, the wind, the star cluster, and the accretion disk is described in a two-component emission model in which the high-ionization broad lines (HILs) are produced in the vicinity of shocks in the wind and the low-ionization lines (LILs) are produced in the outer part of the accretion disk as a result of energy reflected from the flow above the disk. The present model resolves the well-known cloud confinement problem by gravitational confinement for the LILs and by postulating a transient cloud population for the HILs. The model can also explain the systematic velocity shifts noted between the HILs and LILs.
