Entropy of near-extremeN=2black holes

We give an explicit form of the classical entropy for four-dimensional static near-Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield-(BPS)-saturated black holes of $N=2\mathrm{}$ superstring vacua. The expression is obtained by determining the leading corrections in the non-extremality parameter to the corresponding BPS-saturated black hole solutions. These classical results are quantitatively compared with the microscopic leading order corrections to the microscopic result of Maldacena, Strominger, and Witten for $N=2\mathrm{}$ BPS-saturated black holes.
