Abstract
The X-ray emission of neutron stars and black holes presents a rich phenomenology that can help us answer: Does general relativity apply in the strong gravity regime? Are black holes described by the Kerr metric? We consider how to investigate these questions with a combination of high-spectral and high-timing resolution using TES arrays.
