Scientific paper

GRS 1915+105 is a well-known microquasar,  harboring the most massive known stellar black hole in the Galaxy.  However, prior estimates of the spin parameter of the black hole in GRS 1915+105 are in strong disagreement.  Fe K emission lines are produced by irradiation of the accretion disk by an external source of hard X-rays and are the most prominent part of the broader disk reflection spectrum.   We have observed the relativistic Fe K line in this source using Suzaku and will report a new value for the spin parameter based on our disk reflection models.
