Understand

Einstein's theory of general relativity has been extensively tested in weak gravitational fields, mainly with experiments in the Solar System and observations of radio pulsars, and current data agree well with the theoretical predictions.

Nevertheless, there are a number of scenarios beyond Einstein's gravity that have the same predictions for weak fields and present deviations only when gravity becomes strong.
Here we try to test general relativity in the strong field regime.
We fit the X-ray spectrum of the supermassive black hole in Ark 564 with a disk reflection model beyond Einstein's gravity, and we are able to constrain the black hole spin $a_*$ and the Johannsen deformation parameters $\alpha_{13}$ and $\alpha_{22}$ separately.
