Weak cosmic censorship conjecture for a Kerr-Taub-NUT black hole with a test scalar field and particle

Motivated by the recent research of black holes with NUT charge, we investigate the validity of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture for the Kerr-Taub-NUT black hole with a test massive scalar field and a test particle, respectively. For the scalar field scattering gedanken experiment, we consider an infinitesimal time interval process. The result shows that both extremal and near-extremal Kerr-Taub-NUT black holes cannot be overspun. For the test particle thought experiment, the study suggests that the extremal Kerr-Taub-NUT black hole cannot be overspun; while the near-extremal Kerr-Taub-NUT black hole can be overspun. By comparing the two methods, the results indicate the time interval for particles crossing the black hole horizon might be important for consideration of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture.
