Black hole gravity response question

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on anomalies related to candidate black holes, particularly in binary systems where one object is a black hole and the other a typical star. Key findings include the recently discovered anomalous orbital velocity effect in extreme Kerr black holes with spins greater than 0.9953, which leads to a 3:1 resonance between vertical and radial epicyclic frequencies. This phenomenon may explain quasi-periodic light variations observed from the Galactic Center black hole Sgr A* and has been corroborated by observations in four galactic microquasars. The black hole mass estimates from these models align closely with the dynamical mass measurements for Sgr A* and the microquasars.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of extreme Kerr black holes
  • Familiarity with orbital dynamics and epicyclic frequencies
  • Knowledge of observational astronomy techniques
  • Basic grasp of X-ray spectral analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the anomalous orbital velocity effect in extreme Kerr black holes
  • Study the significance of 3:1 and 3:2 resonances in black hole dynamics
  • Explore observational data from Sgr A* and its implications for black hole mass estimation
  • Investigate the X-ray spectrum classification of microquasars like GRS 1915+105
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, and researchers focusing on black hole dynamics, binary systems, and observational astronomy will benefit from this discussion.

Can anybody tell me if there are any puzzles or anomalies with respect to candidate black holes? For example if we have a binary system that looks like this:

o O

where the o is a candidate black hole and the O is a star of some typical type and mass, one would observe each object orbiting the other. Does anybody know if there's have been any unusual observations or inferences?

Thanks in advance.

This is the sort of thing I meant. Can anybody advise or inform please?

Abstract: The recently discovered anomalous orbital velocity effect, which implies a reduced velocity with decreasing radius for an orbiting test particle, is present in extreme Kerr black holes with spin > 0.9953 and radii between 1.05 and 1.78 gravitational radii. In this region a 3:1 resonance between the vertical and the radial epicyclic frequencies occurs, which may lead to quasi-peridoc light variations with two periods differing by a factor of 3. Such variations may have been observed from the Galactic Center black hole Sgr A*. At the same spin but at a larger radius a 3:2 resonance between the two epicyclic frequencies is found as well. Such 3:2 frequencies have been observed in four galactic microquasars. In either case, i.e. the 3:1 or the 3:2 resonance, the black hole mass determined from this model agrees very well with the dynamical mass for Sgr A* and each of the four microquasars. Meanwhile the microquasar GRS 1915+105 has been classified by its X-ray spectrum as an extreme Kerr black hole with a spin > 0.98 [1], which agrees quite nicely with our prediction for the spin, i.e. a = 0.996. Model and observational data are presented and discussed.

I'll perhaps search a variety of papers then print and study.
