Abstract
- The relativistically broadened Fe K$\alpha$ line, originating from the accretion disc in a vicinity of a super massive black hole, is observed in only less than 50\% of type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). In this study we investigate could this lack of detections be explained by the effects of certain parameters of the accretion disc and black hole, such as the inclination, the inner and outer radius of disc and emissivity index. In order to determine how these parameters affect the Fe K $\alpha$ line shape, we simulated about 60,000 Fe K $\alpha$ line profiles emitted from the relativistic disc. Based on simulated line profiles, we conclude that the lack of the Fe K$\alpha$ line detection in type 1 AGN could, be caused by the specific emitting disc parameters, but also by the limits in the spectral resolution and sensitivity of the X-ray detectors.<br />Comment: Based on the talk presented Balkan Workshop BW2018 (10-14 June 2018, Ni\v{s}, Serbia), accepted for publishing in International Journal of Modern Physics A, 8 figures, 1 table, 15 pages
