摘要: The best evidence for black holes comes from studies of three x-ray binaries: Cyg X-1, LMC X-3 and A0620-00. Recent spectroscopic A0620- 00 have constrained the ratio primary mass to secondary mass. Two color light curves A0620-00 are presented period 1981–1989. spectra X-1 two additional sources (Nova Muscae 1991 1E1740.7-2942) occasionally contain features near 0.5–1 MeV. These features, which probably due e+e-annihilation, may prove be a reliable signature hole. X- 3 excellent hole candidates. Nevertheless, is indirect therefore not conclusive. task remains discovering relativistic effect that peculiar alone.
