An inference from radiation reflected by an irradiated accretion disc, including iron-line and continuum features. Doppler effects, gravitational redshift and ray propagation determine its profile. Associating the innermost reflecting radius with the innermost stable circular orbit can constrain spin, conditional on illumination, ionization, abundance, inclination and disk structure.
