    (2020) Zhu, Jiachen; Abdikamalov, Askar B.; Ayzenberg, Dimitry; Azreg-Ainou, Mustapha; Bambi, Cosimo; Jamil, Mubasher; Nampalliwar, Sourabh; Tripathi, Ashutosh; Zhou, Menglei
    Kaluza-Klein theory is a popular alternative theory of gravity, with both non-rotating and rotating black hole solutions known. This allows for the possibility that the theory could be observationally tested. We present a model which calculates the reflection spectrum of a black hole accretion disk system, where the black hole is described by a rotating solution of the Kaluza-Klein theory. We also use this model to analyze X-ray data from the stella-mass black hole in GRS 1915+105 and provide constraints on the free parameters of the Kaluza-Klein black holes.
