First dormant black hole discovered, First Sun-like star in black hole binary system discovered: First detected via positional shifts of visible companion [21] [22] [23] 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
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]
Cygnus X-1 (abbreviated Cyg X-1) [11] is a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus and was the first such source widely accepted to be a black hole. [12] [13] It was discovered in 1964 during a rocket flight and is one of the strongest X-ray sources detectable from Earth, producing a peak X-ray flux density of 2.3 × 10 −23 W/(m 2 ⋅Hz) (2.3 × 10 3 jansky).
Astronomers said the V404 Cygni system holds a central black hole in the act of consuming a small star. This star appears to be very close to the black hole, orbiting it every 6.5 days, resembling ...
A binary black hole (BBH), or black hole binary, is a system consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other. Like black holes themselves, binary black holes are often divided into binary stellar black holes , formed either as remnants of high-mass binary star systems or by dynamic processes and mutual capture; and binary ...
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 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 .
M33 X-7 is a black hole binary system in the Triangulum Galaxy.The system is made up of a stellar-mass black hole and a companion star. The black hole in M33 X-7 has an estimated mass of 15.65 times that of the Sun (M ☉) [3] [4] (formerly the largest known stellar black hole, though this has now been superseded amongst electromagnetically-observed black holes by an increased mass estimate ...
