Scientific paper

This paper reviews the capabilities of Chandra and XMM and discusses some of the physical processes affecting line broadening in X-ray astronomy. Broadening due to relativistic effects is a process which is unique to this field, and which provides important insight into the nature of cosmic X-ray sources. The challenge of interpreting X-ray spectra is illustrated with an example of a well-known active galaxy, and the effect of line broadening on the K shell opacity of iron is discussed.
