Such a highly relativistic beams are expected to be produced in the magnetic reconnection events associated with the flaring activity of the magnetized accretion disks of the AGNs. This contribution presents a quantitative analysis of the possible role of these beams in the excitation of the Fe K alpha line.On the excitation of the FeK alpha line in AGNs by the impact of beams of highly relativistic electrons on the diskjournal articlehttps//doi.org/10.1002/asna.200610678metadata only access52Active Galactic NucleiX-Ray-SpectrumMcg-6-30-15GalaxiesPlasmasRadiation mechanismMagnetic fieldsNon-thermalAstronomía (Matemáticas)21 Astronomía y Astrofísica
