SED fitting for UV-to-MIR photometry with three blackbody components representing the SMBH envelope (blue), AGN dust torus (brown), and galactic dust (golden), plus a UV PL with fixed βλ =− 2, assuming AV = 0.30 derived from the PFS spectrum (purple dotted line). The purple solid line represents an LRD-like MBB component with T = 5000 K and βMBB = 0, with its amplitude scaled according to L ∝ T4. The dust-extincted UV PL continuum intersects with the blackbody component originating from the accretion disk/LRD envelope, reproducing the LRD-like V-shape around λ ≈ 3400 Å.
