Abstract

We study an exhaustive analytic class of massive type IIA backgrounds preserving sixteen real supercharges and enjoying SL(2,R)×SO(8)\textrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\times\textrm{SO}(8) bosonic symmetry. The corresponding geometry is described by AdS2×S7\textrm{AdS}_{2}\times S^{7} warped over a line, which turns out to emerge from taking the near-horizon limit of D0 - F1 - D8 intersections. By studying the singularity structure of these solutions we find the possible presence of localized O8/D8 sources, as well as of fundamental strings smeared over the S7S^{7}. Finally we discuss the relation between the aforementioned solutions and the known AdS7×S2\textrm{AdS}_{7}\times S^{2} class through double analytic continuation.
