TL;DR
This paper evaluates Simbol-X's ability to detect red/blue-shifted iron lines in X-ray spectra, which are crucial for understanding environments around black holes in AGNs, through extensive simulations.
Contribution
It provides the first detailed simulation-based assessment of Simbol-X's capability to detect shifted iron lines in X-ray spectra.
Findings
Simbol-X can effectively detect shifted Fe K lines in simulated spectra.
Detection sensitivity varies with line energy and source brightness.
The results inform observational strategies for future X-ray missions.
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).
