We consider both gauged and ungauged minimal supergravities in five dimensions and analyse the charged rotating solutions with two equal angular momenta $J$. When the electric charge $Q\sim J^{2/3}$ with some specific coefficient, we find…

Binary black holes with spins that are aligned with the orbital angular momentum do not precess. However, post-Newtonian calculations predict that "up-down" binaries, in which the spin of the heavier (lighter) black hole is aligned…
We study the moduli-space scattering of a two-charge supertube in the background of a rotating BPS D1-D5-P black hole in 4+1 dimensions, extending the static analysis of Bena and Kraus (hep-th/0402144). While the magnetic forces associated…

We obtain new non-extremal rotating black hole solutions in maximal five-dimensional gauged supergravity. They are characterised by five parameters, associated with the mass, the two angular momenta, and two independently-specifiable charge…
We present a solution of the vacuum Einstein's equations in five dimensions corresponding to a black ring with horizon topology S^1 x S^2 and rotation in the azimuthal direction of the S^2. This solution has a regular horizon up to a…
We find new explicit solutions describing closed strings spinning with equal angular momentum in two independent planes in the $AdS_5$ black hole spacetime. These are $2n$ folded strings in the radial direction and also winding $m$ times…
The existence of stable bound orbits of test particles is one of the most characteristic properties in black hole spacetimes. In higher-dimensional black holes, due to the dimensionality of gravity, there is no stable bound orbit balanced…
