For the three cases, distinguish a curvature singularity from a coordinate singularity. The Reissner-Nordstrom Kretschmann scalar isIt diverges at when either or is nonzero. Any positive root of instead admits Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates: set to obtainThe determinant of its block is , including at . Hence positive roots of are removable coordinate singularities of the static chart. The apparent degeneracy at the poles of the angular chart is also a coordinate singularity.
