Angular fluctuations in the CXB: Is Fe 6.4 keV line tomography of the large-scale structure feasible?

AGN are known to account for a major portion, if not all, of the cosmic X-ray background radiation. The dominant sharp spectral feature in their spectra is the 6.4 keV fluorescent line of iron, which may contribute to as much as ~ 5-10 % of…
