Caption: Figure 2.

Expected sky density of relativistic Fe Kα lines from AGNs in the range z = 0.05–0.5 with EWs greater than a certain observed value. The solid line plots the distribution from the models with a constant R = 1, while the dashed line shows the predictions from the light-bending model where R is inversely proportional to λ. The EWs in this plot are measured in the observed frame.
