List of black holes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 108.181.2.170 (talk) at 02:19, 2 October 2014 (→‎Supermassive black holes and candidates). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of black holes (and stars considered probable candidates) organized by size (including black hole stars of undetermined mass); some items in this list are galaxies or star clusters that are believed to be organized around a black hole. Messier and New General Catalogue designations are given where possible.

Supermassive black holes and candidates

Types

Intermediate-mass black holes and candidates

Stellar black holes and candidates

Multiple black hole systems

Binary black holes

Trinary black holes

As of 2014, there are 5 known triple black hole systems known.[7]
