ISCOs in Extremal Gibbons-Maeda-Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger Blackholes    [PDF]

Partha Pratim Pradhan
We examine the geodesic motion of neutral test particles for equatorial timelike circular geodesics and null circular geodesics, both extremal and non-extremal case of charged blackholes in string theory. We show that at the extremal limit ($Q^{2}=2M^{2}e^{2\phi_{0}}$) for Gibbons-Maeda-Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger(GMGHS) blackholes, the radius of ISCO(Innermost Stable Circular Orbit)$(r_{ISCO})$, photon orbit$(r_{ph})$ and marginally bound circular orbit $(r_{mb})$ coincides with the event horizon$(r_{hor})$ i.e. $r_{ISCO}=r_{ph}=r_{mb}=r_{hor}=2M $. Since the proper radial distances on a constant time slice both in Schwarzschild and Painlev\'{e}-Gullstrand coordinates becomes zero, therefore these three orbits indeed coincident with the null geodesic generators of the event horizon.
