论文摘要
相对论反射特征通常在积聚黑洞的X射线光谱中观察到。在存在高质量数据并使用正确的天体物理模型的情况下，X射线反射光谱可以是探测强重力区域，研究积聚物质的形态，测量黑洞旋转的非常有力的工具，并可能测试了爱因斯坦在强场上的一般相对性。在过去的十年中，由于更复杂的天体物理模型和新的观察设施，对这些特征的分析的发展发展取得了重大进展。在这里，我们回顾了相对论反思建模的最新技术，列出了可能影响最终测量结果的假设和简化，并且将来可能会更好地研究。我们回顾了黑洞旋转测量值以及最新的使用X射线反射光谱进行测试基本物理学的努力。
Relativistic reflection features are commonly observed in the X-ray spectra of accreting black holes. In the presence of high quality data and with the correct astrophysical model, X-ray reflection spectroscopy can be quite a powerful tool to probe the strong gravity region, study the morphology of the accreting matter, measure black hole spins, and possibly test Einstein's theory of general relativity in the strong field regime. In the last decade, there has been significant progress in the development of the analysis of these features, thanks to more sophisticated astrophysical models and new observational facilities. Here we review the state-of-the-art in relativistic reflection modeling, listing assumptions and simplifications that may affect, at some level, the final measurements and may be investigated better in the future. We review black hole spin measurements and the most recent efforts to use X-ray reflection spectroscopy for testing fundamental physics.
