This thesis aims to explore the properties of the motion of finite size, compact test bodies around a Kerr black hole in the small mass-ratio approximation. The small body is modelled as a perturbation of Kerr geometry, neglecting its…
Black Holes have always played a central role in investigations of quantum gravity. This includes both conceptual issues such as the role of classical singularities and information loss, and technical ones to probe the consistency of…
The Kerr metric is a vacuum solution of the Einstein equations outside of a rotating black hole, but what interior matter is actually rotating and sourcing the Kerr geometry? Here, we describe a rotating exotic matter which can source the…

The quasinormal modes (QNMs) of a black hole spacetime are the free, decaying oscillations of the spacetime, and are well understood in the case of Kerr black holes. We discuss a method for computing the QNMs of spacetimes which are…
In general relativity, astrophysical black holes are uniquely described by the Kerr metric. Observational tests of the Kerr nature of these compact objects and, hence, of general relativity, require a metric that encompasses a broader class…

Astrophysical black hole candidates are thought to be the Kerr black holes of general relativity. However, macroscopic deviations from the Kerr background are predicted by a number of scenarios beyond Einstein's gravity. X-ray reflection…
