Seyfert narrow line region (NLR) emission line ratios are remarkably uniform, displaying only ~0.5 dex variation between galaxies, and even less within an individual object. Previous photoionization and shock models of this region were unable to explain this observation without the introduction of arbitrary assumptions or additional parameters. Dusty, radiation pressure dominated photoionization models provide a simple physical mechanism which can reproduce this spectral uniformity between different objects. In the first paper of this series we described this model and its implementation in detail, as well as presenting grids of model emission lines and examining the model structures. Here we explore these models further, demonstrating their ability to reproduce the observed Seyfert line ratios on standard line diagnostic diagrams in both the optical and UV. We also investigate the effects that the variation of metallicity, density and ionizing spectrum have upon both the new paradigm and the standard photoionization models used hitherto. Along with the standard diagnostic diagrams we provide several new diagnostic diagrams in the UV, Optical and IR. These new diagrams can provide further tests of the dusty, radiation pressure photoionization paradigm as well as being used as diagnostics of the metallicity, density and ionizing spectrum of the emission line clouds.

Directly Imaging the Cooling Flow in the Phoenix Cluster
JWST observations reveal extended [Ne VI] emission in the Phoenix cluster, tracing a recent burst of cooling at 10^5.5 K with an inferred rate of 5,000-23,000 solar masses per year.

ATLAS22kjn (AT 2022fpx): A Coronal Line Emitter with an Early Light Curve Bump and Mid-Infrared Dust Echo
The tidal disruption event ATLAS22kjn shows a resolved 9-day pre-peak bump, coronal lines that imply a stable ~1e6 K ionising source, and a dust echo whose covering fraction is much higher than typical TDEs.

Physically motivated AGN emissivity profiles and their effects on quasar microlensing signatures. 1. Multi-epoch accretion disc size inference
Interpreting composite disc-plus-BLR emission as a single compact disc systematically overestimates microlensing half-light radii, with the bias set mainly by the BLR flux fraction and the compact-disc emissivity shape.

AT2021yky: A Fast-Rising Optical Transient with Evolving Broad Hydrogen Emission Consistent with an Ambiguous Nuclear Transient
AT2021yky is a fast-rising, cool nuclear flare with only broad H-alpha emission, best classified as an ambiguous nuclear transient rather than a typical TDE, AGN flare, supernova, or LFBOT.
