Mind the Resonances: Final stages of accretion into bumpy black holes    [PDF]

Georgios Lukes-Gerakopoulos, George Contopoulos

In this article we discuss a possible way of testing the Kerr black hole hypothesis by taking advantage of phenomena correlated with chaotic motion in the final stages of an accretion disk around a bumpy black hole. We anticipate that these phenomena should have an imprint in the electromagnetic spectrum coming from the accretion disk.
