Relativistic Thermal Emission from Accretion Disks in Kerr-MOG Spacetimes
Cheng Liu, Xu-fan Hu, Yosuke Mizuno +1
In Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity (STVG, also known as MOG), a massive vector field generates a repulsive fifth force that endows rotating black holes with a gravitational char…
Dynamics and Radiative Signatures of Accretion Flows onto a Kerr-like Wormhole
Jing-ze Xia, Hong-xuan Jiang, Cheng Liu +1
Wormholes are a hypothetical object that connects disparate points in spacetime. It is a theoretically well-motivated black hole alternative and offers a potential observationally…
Signature of iron line profile from a Kerr-like wormhole
Cheng Liu, Hoongwah Siew, Hong-Xuan Jiang +2
Broad, skewed iron K emission lines in the X-ray spectra of accreting black holes encode key information about the spacetime geometry of the innermost disk. While the Kerr metri…
Enhanced Blandford Znajek Jet in Loop Quantum Black Hole
Hong-Xuan Jiang, Indu K. Dihingia, Cheng Liu +2
The Blandford-Znajek (BZ) process powers energetic jets by extracting the rotating energy of a Kerr black hole. It is important to understand this process in non-Kerr black hole sp…
Constraints on Hairy Kerr black hole with quasi-periodic oscillations
Cheng Liu, Hoongwah Siew, Tao Zhu +3
The Hairy Kerr black hole is a novel black hole solution that depicts a rotating space-time encompassed by an axisymmetric fluid. It has significant observational importance and is…
