Description
The iron emission line is the most dominant emisson line observed in x-ray sources like Low Mass X-ray Binary (LMXB). Relativistic effects broaden the otherwise narrow spectrum profile. From the boundaries of the energy spectrum and the shape of the spectral profile one can extract valuable informations about the X-ray source such as inclination angle or inner edge radius of the accretion disk.
