Can accretion disk properties observationally distinguish black holes from naked singularities?

Kovacs, Z., Harko, T.

Understand

Naked singularities are hypothetical astrophysical objects, characterized by a gravitational singularity without an event horizon.

Penrose has proposed a conjecture, according to which there exists a cosmic censor who forbids the occurrence of naked singularities.
Distinguishing between astrophysical black holes and naked singularities is a major challenge for present day observational astronomy.
A possibility of differentiating naked singularities from black holes is through the comparative study of thin accretion disks properties around rotating naked singularities and Kerr-type black holes, respectively.
