Summary<br />

Relativistic effects distort reflection features produced close to the BH<br />

−→ “Broad Emission Lines”<br />

“Line Shapes” are sensitive to the <strong>Spin</strong> and other parameters<br />

A detected broad line yields the spin and indicates a compact emission<br />

region compact emission region<br />

Additional information (e.g.,Broad band spectra) is necessary for robust<br />

spin estimates.
