The plot shows the Fe Kα emission line, the strongest and most common X-ray line observed in AGN. The research team found the emission line consists of three components: narrow (magenta), intermediate (orange), and broad (cyan) line components, likely from the torus, the BLR, and the accretion disk, respectively.
