For Johannsen-Psaltis spacetimes, the polar photon-ring time delay depends only on spin and shadow size, while the azimuthal shift probes the metric ratio F/N, enabling future spin and frame-dragging tests.

abstract
The ``cosmic censorship conjecture'' asserts that all singularities arising from gravitational collapse are hidden within black holes. We investigate this conjecture in a setup of interest for tests of General Relativity: black hole solutions which are parametrically small deviations away from the Kerr solution. These solutions have an upper bound on rotation, beyond which a naked singularity is visible to outside observers. We study whether these (generic) spacetimes can be spun-up past extremality with point particles or accretion disks. Our results show that cosmic censorship is preserved for generic parameterizations. We also present examples of special geometries which can be spun-up past extremality.

Influence of Observer Inclination and Spacetime Structure on Photon Ring Observables
For Johannsen-Psaltis spacetimes, the polar photon-ring time delay depends only on spin and shadow size, while the azimuthal shift probes the metric ratio F/N, enabling future spin and frame-dragging tests.
