Abstract
We study the motion of charged particles in a family of five-dimensional solutions describing either a black hole or topological star with a fifth compact dimension stabilised by a magnetic flux. The particle's trajectory is shown to move along the surface of a Poincar\'{e} cone. The radial motion shows a rich structure where the existence of various bound, plunging, or escaping trajectories depend on the constants of motion. Curves of energy and angular momentum corresponding to spherical orbits show a swallow-tail structure highly reminiscent to phase transitions of thermodynamics. When the momentum along the compact direction is varied, the is a critical point beyond which the swallow-tail kink disappears and becomes a smooth curve.
