Scientific paper

Stellar mass black holes are formed in the field, and are observed in binaries. Population synthesis estimates for the formation of BH-PSR binaries suggest these may be observed, but with very large formal uncertainties in the formation rate. In globular clusters, exchanges and binary interactions present more channels for BH-PSR formation, while ejection through recoil can remove a large fraction of the initial black hole population. A BH-PSR system ought to be observed in the near future, most likely in a globular cluster.
