Abstract

The complete analysis of possible types of non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic motions in the field of the ‘naked’ singularity of the STGT is given. The problem of the infall of a monochromatic radiation emitter on the ‘naked’ singularity is studied. In spite of the absence of a ‘freezing’ effect in the STGT, the ‘naked’ singularity is not observable, for the brightness of the falling emitter decreases much faster than in the GTR. Atr≳r g , the trajectory of particles and light are quite similar to that of the GTR, and due to this fact the ‘naked’ singularity is observationally indistinguishable from a black hole.
