Distinguishing rotating naked singularities from Kerr-like wormholes by their deflection angles of massive particles

Abstract We study the gravitational deflection of relativistic massive particles by Janis–Newman–Winicour (JNW) spacetimes (also known as a rotating source with a surface-like naked singularity), and a rotating Kerr-like wormholes. Based on the recent article (Jusufi in Phys Rev D 98:064017, 2018),...
