On the origin of the broad, relativistic iron line of MCG-6-30-15 observed by XMM-Newton
arXiv:astro-ph/0201192 · doi:10.1051/0004-6361:20020089
Abstract
The relativistic iron line profile recently observed by XMM-Newton in the spectrum of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG--6-30-15 (Wilms et al., 2001) is discussed in the framework of the lamp-post model. It is shown that the steep disc emissivity, the large line equivalent width and the amount of Compton reflection can be self- consistently reproduced in this scenario.
