The velocity distribution of quasar/AGN broad emission line cloudsIn the present work, the effects of geometric projection are deconvolved from the observed broad emission line profiles from a number of active galaxies to reveal the intrinsic brightness versus velocity function of the emission-line clouds. Results are presented as total emission per absolute velocity interval, rather than imposing specific dynamical models on the data. It is concluded from the analysis that the preponderance of evidence indicates that the broad-line emission arises from gas with preferred absolute velocity relative to line center.
