Abstract: Vector unparticle couplings to standard model fields produce repulsive corrections to gravity. From a general relativistic perspective, this leads to an effective Reissner-Nordstr"om-like metric whose "charge" is a function of the unparticle coupling constant lambda, and therefore can admit naked singularities. Requiring the system to respect cosmic censorship provides a new method of constraining the value of lambda. These limits are extremely loose for stellar-mass black holes, but commensurate with existing bounds for primordial black holes. In the case of theoretical low-mass black holes, the bounds on lambda are much stricter than those derived from astrophysical and accelerator phenomenology. Additional constraints on the lower limit of lambda are used to estimate the mass of the smallest possible black hole Mbhmmin that can be formed in the unparticle framework, as a function of the unparticle parameters (Lambdaunp,Munp,du,dbz).
