| Talk Title |
Testing the strong field gravity regime with QPOs observations |
|
Abstract |
In this talk I analyze the chances to detect strong gravity effects through quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of rotating black holes. Indeed, I derive the epicyclic frequencies of a slowly rotating black hole in the Eisntein-Dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, finding that they significantly differ from those computed in General Relativity. Then I apply the so called Relativistic Precession Model, showing that the differences between the QPOs frequencies predicted by the two theories of gravity considered, can be large enough to be observed. |
