Black Holes in Binaries and Galactic Nuclei: Diagnostics, Demography and Formation [E-Book] : Proceedings of the ESO Workshop Held at Garching, Germany, 6-8 September 1999, in Honour of Riccardo Giacconi / edited by Lex Kaper, Edward P. J. van den Heuvel, Patrick A. Woudt.
The observational evidence for the existence of black holes has grown significantly over recent decades. Stellar-mass black holes are detected as X-ray sources in binary systems, while supermassive black holes, with masses more than a million times the mass of the Sun, lurk in the nuclei of galaxies...
