Impact of the returning radiation in current tests of the Kerr black hole hypothesis using X-ray reflection spectroscopy

Abstract The past 10 years have seen remarkable progress in our capability of analyzing reflection features in the X-ray spectra of accreting black holes. Today X-ray reflection spectroscopy is a mature technique and a powerful tool for studying the accretion process around black holes, measuring bl...
