Impact of the reflection model on the estimate of the properties of accreting black holes
Ashutosh Tripathi, Honghui Liu, Cosimo Bambi
Relativistic reflection features in the X-ray spectra of black hole binaries and AGNs originate from illumination of the inner part of the accretion disk by a hot corona. In the pr…
Reflection features in the X-ray spectrum of Fairall 9 and implications for tests of general relativity
Honghui Liu, Haiyang Wang, Askar B. Abdikamalov +2
X-ray reflection spectroscopy is potentially a powerful tool to probe the spacetime geometry around astrophysical black holes and test general relativity in the strong field regime…
Testing general relativity with the stellar-mass black hole in LMC X-1 using the continuum-fitting method
Ashutosh Tripathi, Menglei Zhou, Askar B. Abdikamalov +6
The iron line and the continuum-fitting methods are currently the two leading techniques for measuring black hole spins with electromagnetic radiation. They can be naturally extend…
Testing the Kerr hypothesis using X-ray reflection spectroscopy with NuSTAR data of Cygnus X-1 in the soft state
Honghui Liu, Askar B. Abdikamalov, Dimitry Ayzenberg +4
We continue exploring the constraining capabilities of X-ray reflection spectroscopy to test the Kerr-nature of astrophysical black holes and we present the results of our analysis…
XSPEC model for testing the Kerr black hole hypothesis using the continuum-fitting method
Menglei Zhou, Askar B. Abdikamalov, Dimitry Ayzenberg +3
We present NKBB, an XSPEC model for the thermal spectrum of thin accretion disks in parametric black hole spacetimes. We employ the Novikov-Thorne model for the description of the…
