Entropy of Thermally Excited Black Rings

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

A string theory description of near extremal black rings is proposed. The entropy is computed and the thermodynamic properties are derived for a large family of black rings that have not yet been constructed in supergravity. It is also argued that the most general black ring in N=8 supergravity has 21 parameters up to duality.
