Scientific paper

Under the assumption that the broad emission line clouds around quasars are being driven outwards by radiative acceleration, one can calculate the mass outflow rate from the emission line data of an object. Typically one finds that ten percent of the accreted gas is ejected in the form of broad line clouds. These clouds are required to be confined by a hot intercloud medium, and the density of this intercloud medium can be estimated from the mass outflow rate of the broad emission line clouds and their filling factor. The combined mass loss rate in clouds and the hot medium may be a considerable fraction of the accretion rate of the quasar.
