Scientific paper

We treat the problem of time-dependent Compton reflection produced by a point source of radiation illuminating an infinite optically-thick disk of cold solar composition material. The problem is treated using a Monte-Carlo radiation transport simulation in the optically thick limit. The reflection produces a broad feature in the power spectrum at a frequency f~c/h, where h is the height of the photon source above the disk.
