On the basis of preliminary examination of the model of Seyfert galaxies and quasars we have concluded that their gravitational field may have an important influence on the shape of spectral lines when the emission cloud is in gravitational field of massive nuclei (mass about 107–108 M⊙ for Seyfert galaxies, see e.g. Padovani et al. 1990), and the emission cloud is large enough (for example about 1014–1015 m for Broad Line Region (BLR) of NGC 7469 (Bonatto & Pastoriza 1990) or about 1021 m for quasar 3C 257 (Forbes et al. 1990)), so that the emitters are in very different gravitational field along the line of sight.
