Effects of the refractive index of the X-ray corona on the emission lines in AGNs
X-ray reflection from an accretion disc produces characteristic emission lines allowing us to probe the innermost regions in active galactic nuclei. We investigate these emission lines under a framework of Riemannian geometrical optics where the corona has a refractive index of n ≠ 1. The empty spa...
