Abstract

The massless degrees of freedom of type 0 NS5-branes are derived. A non-chiral, purely bosonic spectrum is found in both type 0A and 0B. This non-chirality is confirmed by a one-loop computation in the bulk. An interpretation of the spectra in terms of ``type 0 little strings'' is proposed. The type 0B NS5-brane is conjectured to be dual to a bound state of certain D5-branes, which is argued to have the same massless spectrum at strong coupling.
