Abstract

We address the effect of orientation of the accretion disk plane and the geometry of the broad-line region (BLR) in the context of understanding the distribution of quasars along their Main Sequence. We utilize the photoionization code CLOUDY to model the BLR, incorporating the `un-constant' virial factor. We show the preliminary results of the analysis to highlight the co-dependence of the Eigenvector 1 parameter, RFeII\mathrm{R_{FeII}} on the broad Hβ\beta FWHM (i.e. the line dispersion) and the inclination angle (θ\theta), assuming fixed values for the Eddington ratio (Lbol/LEdd\mathrm{L_{bol}}/\mathrm{L_{Edd}}), black hole mass (MBH\mathrm{M_{BH}}), spectral energy distribution (SED) shape, cloud density (nH\rm{_{H}}) and composition.
