The impact of compact object deformation on thin accretion disk properties

TL;DR

This paper explores how deformations in compact objects influence the observable features of thin accretion disks, aiming to identify potential signatures that differentiate them from classical black holes.

Contribution

It introduces a model for accretion disks around deformed compact objects and analyzes their properties to find unique observational signatures.

Findings

Deformed objects produce distinct accretion disk signatures.

Disk properties depend on deformation parameters.

Potential observational markers for non-black hole compact objects.

Abstract

We investigate the standard relativistic geometrically thin and optically thick accretion disk in the background of a deformed compact object. The main purpose of this work is to determine whether such a deformed object possesses its own observational fingerprint that can distinguish it from Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes. Our analysis reveals the properties of this relativistic accretion disk model and its dependence on the initial parameters.
