A bstract We construct AdS 3 × Y 7 solutions of type IIB supergravity, where Y 7 is a smooth S 5 bundle over a spindle Σ( n N , n S ), which are dual to 𝒩 = (0, 2) SCFTs in d = 2. The solutions are constructed using the D = 5 STU U (1) 3 gauged supergravity theory coupled to a hyperscalar charged under U (1) B . We investigate spindle solutions with two new features: first, we allow ( n N , n S ) to be non-coprime integers, including orbifolds of the round S 2 , which can lead to non-unique, inequivalent uplifts, distinguished by the hyperscalar spectra, for given magnetic flux through the spindle. Second, we also allow the hyperscalar to vanish at the poles leading to solutions carrying non-vanishing U (1) B flux. The new hyperscalar AdS 3 solutions can naturally arise as the endpoint of RG flows, triggered by relevant hyperscalar deformations of the AdS 3 solutions of the STU model.
