Geometry of our simulation. θ i is the inclination as constrained by Carilli (1995). R v is the system's virial radius. R i is the ionization radius of the cones. θ o is the opening angle of the ionization cones assumed here to be 90°. R i , R v , θ o , and two variables controlling the velocity field are the model's five tunable parameters.
