X-Ray Reflection Signatures of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

We investigate the presence of supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary signatures and the feasibility of identifying them through X-ray reflection spectra. The X-ray emitting region is modeled as a set of two mini-disks bound to the individual SMBHs separated by 100 GM / c ^2 and the spectra calculate...
