Any black holes file ?

Post #1by Cham » 05.03.2004, 06:26

I only have one black hole in my addons (61 cyg A).

Is there any other black hole candidate in the 16k ly cube around our sun ? Someone got a black hole file ?

AFAIK the 61 Cygni A black hole is fictitious.

However, the star HD 226868 is in the stars.dat database. Orbiting this blue giant star is an object known as Cygnus X-1, so I suppose someone could come up with an add-on to put there.

Some info at http://www.stellar-database.com/Scripts/search_star.exe?Name=cygnus+x-1
