Disclosing connections between black holes and naked singularities: horizon remnants, Killing throats and bottlenecks

Abstract We study the properties of black holes and naked singularities by considering stationary observers and light surfaces in Kerr spacetimes. We reconsider the notion of Killing horizons from a special perspective by exploring the entire family of Kerr metrics. To this end, we introduce the con...
