Testing Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity from the reflection spectrum of accreting black holes
Hao Zhang, Menglei Zhou, Cosimo Bambi +3
Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity is a theoretically well-motivated alternative theory of gravity emerging as a low-energy 4-dimensional model from heterotic string theory. Its…
Iron K line of Kerr black holes with Proca hair
Menglei Zhou, Cosimo Bambi, Carlos A. R. Herdeiro +1
We continue our study on the capabilities of present and future X-ray missions to test the nature of astrophysical black hole candidates via X-ray reflection spectroscopy and disti…
Iron K line of Proca stars
Tianling Shen, Menglei Zhou, Cosimo Bambi +2
X-ray reflection spectroscopy can be a powerful tool to test the nature of astrophysical black holes. Extending previous work on Kerr black holes with scalar hair [1] and on boson…
