= D5-brane
{c}
{title2=$p=5$}

A type-IIB <D-brane> with five spatial dimensions. Its RR charge is magnetic with respect to the two-form potential $C_2$, or electric with respect to the dual six-form potential. It is distinct from the <NS5-brane>, whose charge is magnetic under the NS-NS two-form and whose string-frame tension has a different power of the coupling.
