You say only a solid can give off blackbody radiation, but I think Charles found that supercritical fluids also give off BB. Are you unable to believe that?
The large amount of iron in almost every AGN and galactic cores have never been explained to my satisfaction... Why is there so much iron???
The ASCA observations are from a Japanese x-ray sat...

This web page has a pretty good description of iron features..
THE BASICS OF THE BROAD IRON LINE
"A substantial amount of the power in AGN is thought to be emitted as X-rays from the accretion disk corona in active or flaring regions. Thermal Comptonization (i.e. multiple inverse Compton scattering by hot thermal electrons; Zdziarski et al. 1994) of soft optical/UV disk photons by the corona naturally gives rise to a power-law X-ray spectrum. The flares irradiate the accretion disk which is relatively cold resulting in the formation of a ``reflection'' component within the X-ray spectrum. A similar component is produced in the Solar spectrum by flares on the solar photosphere (Bai & Ramaty 1978), in X-ray binaries by irradiation of the stellar companion (Basko 1978) and in accreting white dwarfs."

My model of sun formation has changed since the beginning of this thread...
AGN's may be a defect in space where kinetic energy is transmuted into electrons and protons ALA Arp and Narlikar... How the defect got there dont know...
I think that it possible that galactic cores(iron) are ejected from AGN's. And then from that galactic core, stars are ejected similar to the center of our galaxy.

From there the stars disperse into the galaxy. The center of a galaxy also generates Hydrogen which diffuses outward and infalls on to the star and that creates the elements on the surface of our/a sun through fusion...
Somehow iron is the end of the major/high energy transmutation chain. Then on a sun the lower energy transmutation chain is in effect..
Blackbodies emission spectrum seems to rely on material density... According to Robitallie, liquids give a spectrum that changes with Nadir angle. If there is a supercritical fluid spectrum that shows blackbody instead of continuum, I would be convinced...
