用天体物理黑洞的电磁波谱观测检验无毛定理

Testing the No-Hair Theorem with Observations of Astrophysical Black Holes in the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Dimitrios Psaltis, Tim Johannsen

摘要:

旋转黑洞的克尔时空是爱因斯坦的广义相对论最有趣的预言之一。这个时空在引力理论中所扮演的特殊角色被概括在无毛定理中,该定理指出克尔度规是真空场方程唯一现实的黑洞解。在整个电磁波谱中观测黑洞的最新进展和预期的进展确保了我们对它们基本性质的理解,同时为设计克尔度规的测试开辟了新的机会。在本文中,我们认为,成像和光谱观测吸积黑洞与当前和未来的仪器可以导致第一次直接测试的无毛定理。

英文摘要:

The Kerr spacetime of spinning black holes is one of the most intriguing predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity. The special role this spacetime plays in the theory of gravity is encapsulated in the no-hair theorem, which states that the Kerr metric is the only realistic black-hole solution of the vacuum field equations. Recent and anticipated advances in the observations of black holes throughout the electromagnetic spectrum have secured our understanding of their basic properties while opening up new opportunities for devising tests of the Kerr metric. In this paper, we argue that imaging and spectroscopic observations of accreting black-holes with current and future instruments can lead to the first direct test of the no-hair theorem.
