info: This paper discusses one groups investigation into the "red-wing" emission visible in the Fe K-alpha line in the emission spectrum from the galaxy MCG-6-30-15. The paper discusses two papers written on the physical reasoning for the "red-wing emission," with one saying that the effects are due to absorption from "clumpy" material while the other group arguing that the "red-wing" feature is due to relativistic effects. This paper supports the prior and further develops the clumpy model.

To best absorb Reading:
1.Critically analyze reading:
A.To do: Take notes as I am reading, which should include quotes, quesitons, vocabulary, diagrams, summaries of information. At end, summarize overall paper and list all questions.
Quote particularly relevant information to paper.
2. Keep notes, study guides well organized
Where to keep study guides:
On-line readings: Try to take notes on blogger as much as possible. Make links to diagrams and other sites where helpful, and where I can't put it into the blog, or it is a pain.
Physical readings: blogger (if available) or journal
If notes taken in journal, at least put a summary on-line
FIGURE OUT HOW TO KEEP TRACK OF QUOTES FOR THESIS
