Abstract (from CDS):

We report results on the broad iron emission line of the Seyfert galaxy MCG-6-30-15, obtained from the second long ASCA observation in 1997. The time-averaged profile of the broad line is very similar to that seen with ASCA in 1994, so confirming the detailed model fit then obtained. A bright flare is seen in the light curve, during which the continuum was soft. At that time the emission line peaks around 5keV and most of its emission is shifted below 6keV with no component detected at 6.4keV ( This can be interpreted as the result of an extraordinarily large gravitational redshift owing to a dominant flare occurring very close to the black hole at a radius of ≲5.
