Scientific paper

The X-ray reflection features of irradiated accretion disks around black holes enable to probe the effects of strong gravity. We investigate, to which precision the reflection signs, i.e. the iron K-line complex and the Comptonized hump, can be observed by future X-ray satellites, in particular by the upcoming Simbol-X and the planned XEUS observatories. The simulations presented include accurate computations of local X-ray reflection spectra and the modifications due to general relativistic effects in the vicinity of the black hole. We discuss the impact of global black hole parameters and of the irradiation pattern of the disk on the resulting spectra.
