First dormant black hole discovered, First Sun-like star in black hole binary system discovered: First detected via positional shifts of visible companion [19] [20] [21] 1986—2022 3,000 ly (2.8 × 10 16 km; 1.8 × 10 16 mi) V616 Monocerotis (A0620−00) 5.86 M ☉ (1.165 × 10 31 kg; 2.57 × 10 31 lb) Visible variable star X-ray binary system
The initial model estimates the mass of the primary black hole to be approximately 18.35 billion solar masses and the secondary black hole around 150 million solar masses. More recent models estimate that the central supermassive black hole has a mass of 100 million solar masses, [ 6 ] much less than previous estimations.
Artist's impression of the Sun-like star (left) and black hole (top right) in the Gaia BH1 system The star and black hole orbit each other with a period of 185.59 days and an eccentricity of 0.45. The star is similar to the Sun , with about 0.93 M ☉ and 0.99 R ☉ , and a temperature of about 5,850 K (5,580 °C ; 10,070 °F ), while the black ...
A black hole with the mass of a car would have a diameter of about 10 −24 m and take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity of more than 200 times that of the Sun. Lower-mass black holes are expected to evaporate even faster; for example, a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c 2 would take less than 10 −88 ...
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]
The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope. [32] The complex astronomical radio source Sagittarius A appears to be located almost exactly at the Galactic Center and contains an intense compact radio source, Sagittarius A*, which coincides with a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

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 .
