Caption: Figure 18.

Distribution of the beaming factor δ^3−α as a function of Γβ. θ_v = 14° and α = −0.5 are adopted. The cross-hatched gray area highlights the Doppler boosting with beaming factors of ∼1–100 at 10⁻² ≲ Γβ ≲ 3, corresponding to the observations at z/r_g ∼ 10³–10⁴ in Figure 16. Note that a peak of the curve is located at Γβ with ﹩\beta =\cos {\theta }_{{\rm{v}}}﹩.
