Caption: Figure 3.

Relation between the hydrogen ionizing luminosity and the luminosity at 5100 Å. Panels from left to right are for different values of BH spin, from a = −1.0 to a = 0.998. Each panel plots four color lines for different accretion rates. Given and a, L₅₁₀₀ is a function of the BH mass.
