Gravitational deflection of massive body around naked singularity

Abstract

Spacetime singularity is not observed directly as it is covered by event horizon. Naked singularities may be formed due to gravitational collapse without an event horizon. Therefore, cosmic censorship conjecture entails advanced ascertainment. Recently, Joshi et al. have discovered a naked singularity solution (known as JMN naked singularity), which emerges from the dynamical gravitational collapse of a massive matter cloud. Since several studies are needed to know more extra characteristics that may help to test cosmic censorship conjecture in general relativity, therefore, we thought it is pertinent to study the deflection of massive particles by the naked singularity. We shall examine massive particles paths and deflection angles near naked singularities in this research. To get the deflection angle, we employ the Gauss-Bonet technique and the Rindler-Ishak method. The results of the two procedures are compared in detail.
