The relativistic shift of narrow spectral features from black-hole accretion discs
T. Pechacek, M. Dovciak, V. Karas +1
Transient spectral features have been discovered in the X-ray spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei, mostly in the 5--7 keV energy range. Several interpretations were proposed for the…

Polarization signatures of strong gravity in black-hole accretion discs
V. Karas, M. Dovciak, G. Matt
We discuss the effects of strong gravity on the polarization properties of a black hole accretion disc. The intrinsic polarization is computed taking into account light scattered o…

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…
