Kaluza-Klein theory is a popular alternative theory of gravity, with both non-rotating and rotating black hole solutions known. This allows for the possibility that the theory could be observationally tested. We present a model which calculates the reflection spectrum of a black hole accretion disk system, where the black hole is described by a rotating solution of the Kaluza-Klein theory. We also use this model to analyze X-ray data from the stella-mass black hole in GRS 1915+105 and provide constraints on the free parameters of the Kaluza-Klein black holes.

  1. Testing non-circular black hole spacetime with X-ray reflection

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    X-ray reflection data for EXO 1846–031 cannot distinguish the non-circular deformation parameter ℓ_NP from zero, remaining consistent with the Kerr hypothesis.

  2. Testing General Relativity with Black Holes

    gr-qc 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    A status review of X-ray tests of the Kerr black hole hypothesis, concluding that current data are consistent with General Relativity, plus a speculative interstellar probe proposal.
