Abstract

We construct supersymmetric AdS3×ΣAdS_3\times \Sigma solutions of minimal gauged supergravity in D=5D=5, where Σ\Sigma is a two-dimensional orbifold known as a spindle. Remarkably, these uplift on S5S^5, or more generally on any regular Sasaki-Einstein manifold, to smooth solutions of type IIB supergravity. The solutions are dual to d=2d=2, N=(0,2)\mathcal{N}=(0,2) SCFTs and we show that the central charge for the gravity solution agrees with a field theory calculation associated with D3-branes wrapped on Σ\Sigma. Unlike for smooth Σ\Sigma the superconformal R-symmetry mixes with the U(1)U(1) isometry of the spindle.
