Abstract

We construct a family of multi-dyonically charged and rotating supersymmetric AdS2×Σ_2\times \Sigma solutions of D=4D=4, N=4\mathcal{N}=4 gauged supergravity, where Σ\Sigma is a sphere with two conical singularities known as a spindle. We argue that these arise as near horizon limits of extremal dyonically charged rotating and accelerating supersymmetric black holes in AdS4_4, that we conjecture to exist. We demonstrate this in the non-rotating limit, constructing the accelerating black hole solutions and showing that the non-spinning spindle solutions arise as the near horizon limit of the supersymmetric and extremal sub-class of these black holes. From the near horizon solutions we compute the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the black holes as a function of the conserved charges, and show that this may equivalently be obtained by extremizing a simple entropy function. For appropriately quantized magnetic fluxes, the solutions uplift on S7S^7, or its N=4{\cal N}=4 orbifolds S7/ΓS^7/\Gamma, to smooth supersymmetric solutions to D=11D=11 supergravity, where the entropy is expected to count microstates of the theory on NN M2-branes wrapped on a spinning spindle, in the large NN limit.
