Scientific paper

XMM and Chandra data have recently revealed complex and exciting behavior in the Fe K-band of Seyfert-type AGN. These include rapid variations in line energy, characteristic of gas orbiting a central black hole, and a tight correlation of the ionized line component with flux. These strengthen the assertion a significant fraction of Fe Ka emission is from the accretion disk. We have searched the XMM archive for AGN where line emission appears dominated by the inner disk. Mkn 205 is the best target for continuing Fe Ka studies in XMM cycle 5, and we propose a 120 ks observation of this quasar.
