A Long Period Stellar-mass Black Hole Binary in ω Centauri

Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We present the discovery of an astrometric stellar-mass black hole–main sequence star binary in ω Centauri, the most massive...
