Scientific paper

Iron lines emitted in the innermost regions of the accretion disc in Active Galactic Nuclei (and Galactic Black Hole candidates) are one of the best tools to probe strong gravity effects in the close vicinity of a Black Hole. In this contribution I review the basic theory on "relativistic lines" and the observational evidence for them in Active Galactic Nuclei.
