Recent x-ray observations of microquasars and Seyfert galaxies reveal broad emission lines in their spectra, which can arise in the innermost parts of accretion disks. We consider a radiating annulus model to simulate spectral line shapes. That is a natural approximation for narrow emitting circular rings without extra astrophysical assumptions about emissivity laws. Recently, Müller and Camenzind (Astron. Astrophys. 413, 861 (2004)) presented results of their calculations and classified different types of spectral line shapes and described their origin. We clarified their hypothesis about an origin of double peaked and double horned line shapes. On the basis of results of numerical simulations, we showed that double peaked spectral lines arise almost for any locations of narrow emission rings (annuli), although Müller and Camenzind claimed that such profiles arise for relatively flat spacetimes and typical radii for emission region of about 25r g. We showed that triangular spectral lines could arise for nearest annuli and high inclination angles. We discuss a possibility of appearance of narrow spectral line shapes as a result of spiraling evolution of matter along quasi-circular orbits which could be approximated by narrow annuli.
