A Noninteracting Galactic Black Hole Candidate in a Binary System with a Main-sequence Star

We describe the discovery of a solar neighborhood ( d = 468 pc) binary system with a main-sequence sunlike star and a massive noninteracting black hole candidate. The spectral energy distribution of the visible star is described by a single stellar model. We derive stellar parameters from a high sig...
