Probing the near-horizon region of Cygnus X-1 with Suzaku and NuSTAR

Zuobin Zhang, Honghui Liu, Askar B. Abdikamalov +3

Astrophysical black holes are ideal laboratories for testing Einstein's theory of general relativity in the strong field regime. In this manuscript, we present an analysis of Suzak…

Testing the Kerr Black Hole Hypothesis with GX 339-4 by a combined analysis of its thermal spectrum and reflection features

Ashutosh Tripathi, Askar B. Abdikamalov, Dimitry Ayzenberg +3

We analyze simultaneous observations with NuSTAR and Swift of the black hole binary GX 339-4 in which we clearly detect both a strong thermal component and prominent relativistic r…

Testing the Keplerian disk hypothesis using X-ray reflection spectroscopy

Ashutosh Tripathi, Biao Zhou, Askar B. Abdikamalov +3

The Novikov-Thorne model is the standard framework for the description of geometrically thin and optically thick accretion disks around black holes and is widely used to study the…

Impact of the returning radiation on the analysis of the reflection spectra of black holes

Shafqat Riaz, Michal Szanecki, Andrzej Niedzwiecki +2

A fraction of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from the surface of a geometrically thin and optically thick accretion disk of a black hole returns to the disk because of the s…

Shining X-rays on asymptotically safe quantum gravity

Biao Zhou, Askar B. Abdikamalov, Dimitry Ayzenberg +3

Asymptotically safe quantum gravity is a promising candidate scenario to provide a UV extension for the effective quantum field theory of Einstein's gravity. The theory has its fou…

X-ray reflection spectroscopy with Kaluza-Klein black holes

Jiachen Zhu, Askar B. Abdikamalov, Dimitry Ayzenberg +6

Kaluza-Klein theory is a popular alternative theory of gravity, with both non-rotating and rotating black hole solutions known. This allows for the possibility that the theory coul…
