Distinguishing Brans–Dicke–Kerr type naked singularities and black holes with their thin disk electromagnetic radiation properties

Abstract The possible existence of naked singularities, hypothetical astrophysical objects, characterized by a gravitational singularity without an event horizon is still an open problem in present day astrophysics. From an observational point of view distinguishing between astrophysical black holes...
