Iron line profiles from black hole accretion discs with spiral velocity structure.

HARTNOLL S.A. and BLACKMAN E.G.

Abstract (from CDS):

We calculate the iron line profiles from accretion discs with spiral velocity structures around Schwarzschild black holes. We find that quasi-periodic bumps, step-like features and secondary peaks appear in the profiles. Non-axisymmetry is important for low radial mode spirals. This study is motivated by recent work showing that spiral density waves can result from magnetohydrodynamic instabilities even in non-self-gravitating discs, such as those of active galactic nuclei or X-ray binaries, and by improved spectral resolution of forthcoming X-ray missions.
