Observations of Orbiting Hot Spots around Naked Singularities (2309.04157v2)

Published 8 Sep 2023 in gr-qc

Abstract: Recently, it has been reported that photons can traverse naked singularities in the Janis-Newman-Winicour and Born-Infeld spacetimes when these singularities are appropriately regularized. In this paper, we investigate observational signatures of hot spots orbiting these naked singularities, with a focus on discerning them from black holes. In contrast to Schwarzschild black holes, we unveil the presence of multiple additional image tracks within critical curves in time integrated images capturing a complete orbit of hot spots. Moreover, these new images manifest as a more pronounced second-highest peak in temporal magnitudes when observed at low inclinations.
