Pseudo-Newtonian Simulation of a Thin Accretion Disk Around a Reissner–Nordström Naked Singularity

We present the first numerical simulations of a thin accretion disk around a Reissner–Nordström (RN) naked singularity (NkS; a charged point mass). The gravity of the RN NkS is modeled with a pseudo-Newtonian potential that reproduces exactly the radial dependence of the RN Keplerian orbital frequen...
