Hα spectrum, and the best fit to our fiducial model. We show the X-Shooter R ∼ 5600 spectrum of the Hα line of PAN-BH*-1, along with the best-fit to the model described in Section 3.2; total model (red solid line) and individual components (discontinuous color lines). The red wing of the line is severely affected by telluric absorption, thus the large uncertainties.
