Galactic black-hole candidates.
Abstract
Exosat observations of X-ray binary systems which exhibit possible black hole characteristics are examined. The systems discussed are Cygnus X-1, LMC X-3, GX339-4, several ultrasoft X-ray transient sources, Circinus X-1, and VO332+53. It is found that the two sources which are the best black hole candidates are AO620-00 and LMC X-3.
