This paper presents the results of atom-kinetic calculations showing a significant influence of self-absorption effects on the X-ray emission spectra of plasmas formed by irradiation of thin iron foils with ultra-relativistic laser pulses. Using the spectra of hydrogen-like and helium-like iron ions as an example, it is shown that during two-pulse irradiation of the target, the relative macroscopic motion of different regions of the laser plasma with respect to each other leads to an asymmetry of the contours and a significant change in the intensity ratios of the spectral components, but can compensate for the self-absorption effects associated with the heating of the pre-plasma. Keywords: X-ray spectroscopy, high-temperature laser plasma, X-ray spectra, self-absorption effect, multiply charged ions.
