Abstract

Starting with the non-BPS D0-brane solution of IIB/(1)FLI4(-1)^{F_L}I_4 constructed recently by Eyras and Panda we construct via T-duality the non-BPS D2-brane and D1-brane solutions of IIB/(1)FLI4(-1)^{F_L}I_4 and IIA/(1)FLI4(-1)^{F_L}I_4 predicted by Sen. The D2-brane couples magnetically to the vector field of the NS5B-brane living in the twisted sector of the Type IIB orbifold, whereas the D1-brane couples (electrically and magnetically) to the self-dual 2-form potential of the NS5A-brane that is present in the twisted sector of the Type IIA orbifold construction. Finally we discuss the eleven dimensional interpretation of these branes as originating from a non-BPS M1-brane solution of M-theory orientifolded by ΩρI5\Omega_\rho I_5.
