Caption: Figure 1.
NIR hot dust sublimation radii (Rdust) vs. Fe Kα line region radii (RFe) shown in black. Circles represent Rdust from reverberation lags and squares are interferometric measurements. The unfilled violet symbols are the BLR radii (RBLR) based upon optical reverberation mapping. Dotted lines connect these various measurements for any one source. The gray shaded zone represents RFe > Rdust (i.e., scales commensurate with the body of the torus and beyond).
