Abstract

The detection of red/blue-shifted iron lines in the spectra of astronomical X-ray sources is of great importance, as it allows to trace the environment around compact objects, like black holes in AGNs. We report on extensive simulations to test the Simbol-X capability of detecting such spectral features, focusing on the low energy detector (0.5-30 keV).<br />Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, to appear in proceedings of "Simbol-X: the hard X-ray Universe in focus", held in Bologna (Italy), May 14-16, 2007
