Scientific paper

We compute X-ray spectra produced by non-static coronae atop accretion discs around black holes. The hot corona is radiatively coupled to the underlying disc (the reflector) and generates an X-ray spectrum which is sensitive to the bulk velocity of the coronal plasma, β=ν/c. We show that an outflowing corona atop a neutral reflector reproduces the hard-state spectrum of Cyg X-1 and similar objects. The dynamic model predicts a correlation between the observed amplitude of reflection R and the X-ray spectrum slope Γ since both strongly depend on β. A similar correlation was observed and its shape is well fitted by the dynamic model. .
