In this paper, we use QPOs within the relativistic precession model to test a recently proposed family of rotating black hole mimickers, which reduce to the Kerr metric in a limiting case, and can represent traversable wormholes or regular black holes with one or two horizons, depending on the values of the parameters. In particular, assuming that the compact object of GRO J1655-40 is described by a rotating black hole mimicker, we perform a χ-square analysis to fit the parameters of the mimicker with two sets of observed QPO frequencies from GRO J1655-40. Our results indicate that although the metric around the compact object of GRO J1655-40 is consistent with the Kerr metric, a regular black hole with one horizon is favored by the observation data of GRO J1655-40. dc.language en dc.publisher Springer Berlin Heidelberg dc.subject Regular Article - Theoretical Physics dc.title Testing Kerr black hole mimickers with quasi-periodic oscillations from GRO J1655-40 dc.type Article dc.date.updated 2022-01-05T16:32:21Z prism.issueIdentifier 11 prism.publicationName The European Physical Journal C prism.volume 81 dc.identifier.doi 10.17863/CAM.79525 dcterms.dateAccepted 2021-11-06 rioxxterms.versionofrecord 10.1140/epjc/s10052-021-09816-z rioxxterms.version VoR rioxxterms.licenseref.uri http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ dc.contributor.orcid Jiang, Xin [0000-0002-0989-4966] dc.identifier.eissn 1434-6052
