Singular rational curves with points of nearly-maximal weight

In this article we study rational curves with a unique unibranch genus-g singularity, which is of κ-hyperelliptic type in the sense of [27]; we focus on the cases κ=0 and κ=1, in which the semigroup associated to the singularity is of (sub)maximal weight. We obtain a partial classification of these curves according to the linear series they support, the scrolls on which they lie, and their gonality.
