Can accretion properties distinguish between a naked singularity, wormhole and black hole?


Abstract in English

We first advance a mathematical novelty that the three geometrically and topologically distinct objects mentioned in the title can be exactly obtained from the Jordan frame vacuum Brans I solution by a combination of coordinate transformations, trigonometric identities and complex Wick rotation. Next, we study their respective accretion properties using the Page-Thorne model which studies accretion properties exclusively for $rgeq r_{text{ms}}$ (the minimally stable radius of particle orbits), while the radii of singularity/ throat/ horizon $r<r_{text{ms}}$. Also, its Page-Thorne efficiency $epsilon$ is found to increase with decreasing $r_{text{ms}}$ and also yields $epsilon=0.0572$ for Schwarzschild black hole (SBH). But in the singular limit $rrightarrow r_{s}$ (radius of singularity), we have $epsilonrightarrow 1$ giving rise to $100 %$ efficiency in agreement with the efficiency of the naked singularity constructed in [10]. We show that the differential accretion luminosity $frac{dmathcal{L}_{infty}}{dln{r}}$ of Buchdahl naked singularity (BNS) is always substantially larger than that of SBH, while Eddington luminosity at infinity $L_{text{Edd}}^{infty}$ for BNS could be arbitrarily large at $rrightarrow r_{s}$ due to the scalar field $phi$ that is defined in $(r_{s}, infty)$. It is concluded that BNS accretion profiles can still be higher than those of regular objects in the universe.
