The Reliability of Accretion Disk Inclination Derived from X-Ray Spectroscopy of Active Galaxies

The inclination angle of substructures in active galaxies gives insights into physical components from scales of the vicinity of the central black hole to the entire host galaxy. We use the self-consistent reflection spectral model RELXILL to measure the inclination of the inner region of accretion...
