Summary Relativistic effects distort reflection features produced close to the BH −→ “Broad Emission Lines” “Line Shapes” are sensitive to the <strong>Spin</strong> and other parameters A detected broad line yields the spin and indicates a compact emission region compact emission region Additional information (e.g.,Broad band spectra) is necessary for robust spin estimates.
