Title

Testing The Kerr Spacetime With X-ray Reflection Spectroscopy
Coauthors

Abstract

Astrophysical black holes are thought to be Kerr solution of general relativity but their Kerr geometry have not yet verified. Iron line is prominent feature in X-ray reflection spectra. Shape of iron line in X-ray reflection spectra of both stellar-mass and super massive black hole candidates are supposed to be strongly affected by spacetime geometry. This method is a powerful technique to prob strong gravity regime and deviations from Kerr spacetime. In this talk, I present iron line of some non-Kerr spacetimes. I also present data simulations of X-ray missions. The purpose is to understand whether X-ray reflection spectroscopy can distinguish these non-Kerr spacetimes from Kerr solution of general relativity.
