We examined the profiles and polarization properties of emission linesoriginating from the extremely relativistic region of Kepler disks. Because the emission region is more localized to the inner part, e.g., a fewtimes the black hole radius, the profiles, and polarization properties areremarkably modified. The black hole spin significantly affects the propertiesthrough the inner edge. This observation, in spite of the technicaldifficulties, provides an important diagnostic of the relativistic region.Comment: 5 pages (5 figures), accepted for publication in PAS
