We investigate the gravitational field of a static mass with quadrupole moment in empty space. It is shown that in general this configuration is characterized by the presence of curvature singularities without a surrounding event horizon. These naked singularities generate an effective field of repulsive gravity which, in turn, drastically changes the behavior of test particles. As a possible consequence, the accretion disk around a naked singularity presents a particular discontinuous structure.

  1. Constraining quadrupole deformations with relativistic effects

    gr-qc 2025-06 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Zipoy-Voorhees spacetime, the Shapiro time delay and the Shirokov oscillation frequencies acquire corrections from the quadrupole deformation parameter q, with the delay correction appearing at first order in q.

  2. Analytic thin disks and rings in a class of nonasymptotically flat static spacetimes

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    External quadrupolar distortion imprints on orbital dynamics and accretion structure in thin disks around deformed compact objects, with the radiating region's outer edge tied to the radiation-to-gas pressure transition.
