Corroboration of Dynamic Black Hole Gravitational Physics from Observations of Cygnus X-1

Abstract:

The compact black hole primary in the X-ray binary Cygnus X-1, has recently been characterised by observation. This data can be analysed to test models of black hole gravitational physics. Using the optimum observational data with the least fit parameters, the average of 3 spectral data sets revealed an averaged inner rim accretion disc radius Rin = 2.24 GM/c2. Using the Kerr spinning black hole model results in a theoretical apparent reduction in Rin Show more

“…A reformulation of the equations shows that advanced gravitational equations are also very accurate for binary pulsars, using recent data for PSR B 1534+12 from Straumann [6,7]. Here, it has also been shown that theses equations are accurate for observations of Cygnus X-1 [12][13][14]. These results suggest a straight line correlation between dynamic advanced gravitation, for low and medium mass and high density gravitational bodies.…”
