Iron lines in stellar mass black holes.(Red) Ratio of the spectrum of XTE J1650-500
(observed with XMM-Newton) to a simple disk blackbody and power law.(Blue) Same ratio
for Cygnus X-1 (from Chandra). Plotting the spectrum in this manner reveals the shape of the
iron line, which can be seen as a broad bump between 4 and 7 keV.[Data from (7)]
