Abstract
We report on the global properties of the Fe features seen in the 6 - 7 keV spectra of X-ray sources observed with the EXOSAT Gas Scintillat ion Proportional Counter (GSPC). Of a total of 431 spectra extracted f rom the EXOSAT archive, 205 required the addition of a Gaussian emissi on line to the continuum spectrum in order to obtain satisfactory fits . The majority of these sources are X-ray binaries. The best fit line properties are given for each of these spectra as well as being summar ized by source class. For the 226 spectra which did not require the ad dition of an emission feature, upper limit equivalent widths for narro w and broad lines are presented.
