Some applications of the Shapiro time delay

Abstract

Listening to echoes has long been a way to estimate distances, a technique whose backbone is the time delay. The gravitational field also creates a time delay, called Shapiro time delay, that helps us extract some information from the field and is indeed due to the photon journey through the field. Here, the ability of the Shapiro effect to distinguish naked singularities from non-naked ones (black holes) is discussed. It is also inferred that this time delay may be hired to compare the various types of singularities with different dimensions. Besides them, the possibility of detecting the rotation of the assumed objects through surveying the gravitational time delay is also addressed.
