Abstract

We study here the behavior of nonspacelike geodesics in dust collapse models in order to understand the causal structure of the spacetime. The geodesic families coming out, when the singularity is naked, corresponding to different initial data are worked out and analyzed. We also bring out the similarity of the limiting behavior for different types of geodesics in the limit of the approach to the singularity.
