Abstract
We investigate how a static and neutral distribution of external matter distorts a 5-dimensional static black ring. We obtain a general expression for the distorted metric in terms of the background metric functions and the distortion fields, and find a multipole expansion for the latter. We demonstrate that the gravitational field of these external sources can be adjusted to remove the conical singularity of the undistorted black ring solution. We analyze properties of the distorted black ring for the specific cases of dipole and quadrupole distortions.
