Thin accretion disk around a rotating Kerr-like black hole in Einstein-bumblebee gravity model

Understand

We study the accretion process in the thin disk around a rotating Kerr-like black hole in Einstein-bumblebee gravity model where Lorentz symmetry is spontaneously broken once a vector field acquires a vacuum expectation value.

• In the present paper we obtain the energy flux, the emission spectrum and accretion efficiency from the accretion disks around the rotating Kerr-like black hole, and we compare them to the general Kerr case.
• These significant features in the mass accretion process may provide a possibility to test whether the Lorentz symmetry is spontaneously broken or not in the Einstein-bumblebee gravity model by future astronomical observations.
