Black holes in `astrophysical sense,' i.e., gravity sources of the size smaller than a few Schwarzschild radii and masses ranging from a few to a 10(9) times larger that the mass of the Sun, are parts of many astrophysical objects and the processes taking place in their vicinity are extensively studied. Those results do not contradict so far to what we expect about the motion of the matter in a Schwarzschild or Kerr metric. Unfortunately, the thermal state and dynamical behaviour of the matter is so complex that any detailed tests of general relativity cannot be done at present. However, the observational progress is fast and such tests may be possible in the near future.
