Kerr ring singularity ($r=0,\theta =\pi /2$)

For nonzero spin, the curvature singularity of the Kerr metric is the ring $x^2+y^2=a^2$, $z=0$ in oblate Cartesian coordinates. The rest of the $r=0$ disk is regular and allows continuation to negative $r$. The entire disk must not be mistaken for a curvature singularity, and axial trajectories do not hit the ring.
