It is well known that the Einstein-scalar system of general relativity can in principle yield non-unique exact spinning naked singularities, which lead to unique Kerr black hole when the scalar field is switched off. It is a challenging task to observationally distinguish these two types of objects. Since accretion process could be a viable diagnostic for this distinction, the purpose of the present work is to explore whether there could be features in the accretion profiles distinguishing the singularity from a Kerr black hole. Here we study the Novikov–Thorne thin accretion to a new spinning naked singularity with a scalar charge σ recently reported by Bogush and Gal’tsov (BG). Our study reveals that: (1) the conversion efficiency ϵ of the BG naked singularity is independent of σ and (2) the maxima of emissivity profiles for the BG singularity tend to shift towards the inner disk ISCO boundary r = r ms and peak at a value significantly larger than those of a Kerr black hole with the increase of a , σ and relative shrinking of - g . All these effects are quantitatively tabulated, which reveal, for instance, that the flux from the naked singularity could be as high as 10 5 times larger than that of a Kerr black hole. Since these distinguishing features are known to be shared also by other models of naked singularity, it is tempting to speculate that such behavior could be hallmark of naked singularities.
