We apply the techniques developed in our previous article to describe some interesting families of ALF gravitational instantons with conical singularities. In particular, we completely understand the 5-dimensional family of Chen–Teo metrics and prove that only 4-dimensional subfamilies can be smoothly compactified so that the metric has conical singularities.
Keywords: toric geometry, conformally Kähler metrics.
