Mind the Resonances: Final stages of accretion into bumpy black holes
arXiv:1304.7612 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/453/1/012005
Abstract
In this article we discuss a possible way of testing the Kerr black hole hypothesis by taking advantage of phenomena correlated with chaotic motion in the final stages of an accretion disk around a bumpy black hole. We anticipate that these phenomena should have an imprint in the electromagnetic spectrum coming from the accretion disk.
