FERO: Finding extreme relativistic objects. I. Statistics of relativistic Fe K<SUB>alpha</SUB> lines in radio-quiet Type 1 AGN

Accretion models predict that fluorescence lines broadened by relativistic effects should arise from reflection of X-ray emission onto the inner region of the accretion disc surrounding the central black hole of active galactic nuclei (AGN). The theory behind the origin of relativistic lines is well established, and observational evidence from …
