The continuum-fitting and the iron line methods are leading techniques capable of probing the spacetime geometry around astrophysical black hole candidates and testing the no-hair theorem. In the present paper, we review the two approaches, from the astrophysical models and their assumptions, to the constraining power with present and future facilities.

  1. Observable thin accretion disk around a self-dual black hole in loop quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 3.0

    A self-dual loop quantum black hole is shown to look smaller and brighter than Schwarzschild in thin disk models, with the polymer parameter P bounded by Mercury and S2 star data.
