Relativistic reflection spectra of super-spinning black holes

Tripathi, Ashutosh; Zhou, Biao; Abdikamalov, Askar B. +4 more

We construct a relativistic reflection model in a non-Kerr spacetime in which, depending on the value of the deformation parameter of the metric, there are black hole solutions with spin parameter | a_∗|>1 . We apply our model to fit Suzaku data of four Seyfert galaxies (Ton S180, Ark 120, 1H0419-577, and Swift J0501.9-3239). These ga…
