Iron line spectroscopy with Einstein–dilaton–Gauss–Bonnet black holes

Einstein–dilaton–Gauss–Bonnet gravity is a well-motivated alternative theory of gravity that emerges naturally from string theory. While black hole solutions have been known in this theory in numerical form for a while, an approximate analytical metric was obtained recently by some of us, which allo...
