This is a list of known black holes that are close to the Solar System. It is thought that most black holes are solitary, but black holes in binary or larger systems are much easier to detect. [1] Solitary black holes can generally only be detected by measuring their gravitational distortion of the light from more
The supermassive black hole at the core of Messier 87, here shown by an image by the Event Horizon Telescope, is among the black holes in this list.. This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates), measured in units of solar masses (M ☉), approximately 2 × 10 30 kilograms.
Gaia BH1 (Gaia DR3 4373465352415301632) is a binary system consisting of a G-type main-sequence star and a likely stellar-mass black hole, located about 1,560 light-years (478 pc) away from the Solar System in the constellation of Ophiuchus. [4]
A cosmic mystery surrounding a black hole some 270 million light-years from the Milky Way is deepening. Now, the black hole has once again demonstrated strange features that teams of astronomers ...
Scientists say microscopic black holes could explain the elusive "dark matter" that makes up a quarter of all matter in the universe. But can it be proven?
OJ 287 core black holes — a BL Lac object with a candidate binary supermassive black hole core system [23] PG 1302-102 – the first binary-cored quasar — a pair of supermassive black holes at the core of this quasar [24] [25] SDSS J120136.02+300305.5 core black holes — a pair of supermassive black holes at the centre of this galaxy [26]
If black holes evaporate via Hawking radiation, a solar mass black hole will evaporate (beginning once the temperature of the cosmic microwave background drops below that of the black hole) over a period of 10 64 years. [149] A supermassive black hole with a mass of 10 11 M ☉ will evaporate in around 2×10 100 years. [150]
The binary star system A0620-00 in the constellation of Monoceros is at a distance of roughly 3,300 light-years (1,000 parsecs) away. The black hole is estimated to be 6.6 solar masses. The black hole is estimated to be 6.6 solar masses.
