Scientific paper

Detailed calculations of the relativistic effects on both the reflection continuum and the iron line from accretion discs around rotating black holes are performed using a method which takes into account the relativistic transfer of both illuminating and reprocessed photons. These may be used as a diagnostics of the black hole spin when data from high throughput X-ray missions, like Constellation-X, will be available. .
