Detection of Asymmetry in the Narrow Fe Kα Emission Line in MCG-5-23-16 with Chandra

Iron K α (Fe K α ) emission is observed ubiquitously in active galactic nuclei (AGN), and it is a powerful probe of their circumnuclear environment. Examinations of the emission line play a pivotal role in understanding the disk geometry surrounding black holes. It has been suggested that the torus...
