Abstract

The Campanelli-Lousto solutions of Brans-Dicke theory, usually reported as black holes are reconsidered and shown to describe, according to the values of a parameter, wormholes or naked singularities. The veiled Schwarzschild metric recently used as an example to discuss conformal frames and their equivalence corresponds to a special case of the CL metric. The conformal cousins of these solutions, and of the Riegert black hole solution of conformally invariant Weyl theory, are analysed, leading to a word of caution when interpreting physically spacetimes generated via conformal transformations from known seed solutions.
