We revisit a construction due to Lunin and Mathur of 1/2-BPS solutions of string theory involving fivebranes, which are the magnetic duals of fundamental strings; and interpret the generic solution as describing a “fivebrane star”. The effective field theory governing these objects provides insights into gravitational collapse and black hole formation.
