Abstract
We calculate the density of states with given mass and spin in string theory and obtain asymptotic formulas. We also compute the tree-level magnetic dipole moments of arbitrary physical states in the heterotic string theory. These results are then applied to study whether fundame ntal strings can consistently describe the microphysics of the black h ole horizon in the case of a general classical solution characterized by mass, charge and angular momentum.
