In this paper we explore some of the features of a heavy quark-antiquark pairat finite temperature using a five-dimensional framework nowadays known asAdS/QCD. We shall show that the resulting behavior is consistent with ourqualitative expectations of thermal gauge theory. Some of the results are ingood agreement with the lattice data that provides additional evidence for thevalidity of the proposed model.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures; v2: comments added, misprints correcte
