Degeneracy in Accretion Disk Spectra from Naked Singularities and Kerr Black Holes: Application to the AGN MCG-06-30-15
Vishva Patel, Sayantan Bhattacharya, Sudip Bhattacharyya +1
Theoretical studies suggest that gravitational collapse can form either a black hole or a visible (naked) singularity. Identifying observational signatures that distinguish these t…
Energy extraction-driven instability and horizon formation in Kerr-Newman naked singularities and their limiting cases
Vishva Patel
Energy extraction from compact objects has been a central topic in general relativity since the introduction of the Penrose process. In this work we present a unified analysis of r…
Optical appearance of regularized compact objects without an exterior photon sphere
Ashok B. Joshi, Vishva Patel, Parth C. Varasani
Recent observations by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) indicate that the shadow of the compact object at our Galaxy's center (Sgr A*) closely resembles that of a Schwarzschild bl…
High Energy Particle Collisions in the vicinity of Naked Singularity
Kauntey Acharya, Parth Bambhaniya, Pankaj S. Joshi +2
In this paper, we investigate particle acceleration and high-energy collisions in the Joshi-Malafarina-Narayan (JMN-1) naked singularity, which, in the absence of an event horizon,…
