Abstract
We study Horowitz-Polchinski string stars in pure AdS near the Hagedorn temperature using the technique of worldsheet conformal perturbation theory. Since the worldsheet CFT for pure AdS is known exactly, our methodology provides a systematic way to construct Horowitz-Polchinski backgrounds to all orders in . We explicitly construct the leading string star equations in a double expansion in temperature and WZW level which we then solve numerically.
