Distinguishing Kerr naked singularities and black holes using the spin precession of a test gyro in strong gravitational fields

Chandrachur Chakraborty, Prashant Kocherlakota, Mandar Patil +3

We study here the precession of the spin of a test gyroscope attached to a stationary observer in the Kerr spacetime, specifically, to distinguish naked singularity (NS) from black…

Spin precession in a black hole and naked singularity spacetimes

Chandrachur Chakraborty, Prashant Kocherlakota, Pankaj S. Joshi

We propose here a specific criterion to address the existence or otherwise of Kerr naked singularities, in terms of the precession of the spin of a test gyroscope due to the frame…
