Abstract
The astrophysical implications of the light scattering and capture cross sections of a Curzon naked singularity are discussed. It is found that a Curzon naked singularity possesses a neatly circular capture cross section for photons of approximately the same size as that of a Schwarzschild black hole of equal mass. This suggests that a black hole and a naked singularity can produce similar astrophysical effects.
