Polarization signatures of strong gravity in AGN accretion discs
M. Dovciak, V. Karas, G. Matt
The effects of strong gravity on the polarization of the Compton reflection from an X-ray illuminated accretion disc are studied. The gravitational field of a rotating black hole i…

Relativistic spectral features from X-ray illuminated spots and the measure of the black hole mass in AGN
M. Dovciak, S. Bianchi, M. Guainazzi +2
Narrow spectral features in the 5--6 keV range were recently discovered in the X-ray spectra of a few active galactic nuclei. We discuss the possibility that these features are due…
