Scientific paper

No unique characteristic has yet been conceived which would allow the unmistakable observational recognition of a black hole, partly due to the difficulty involved in distinguishing stellar black holes from weakly-magnetized neutron stars. Accordingly, all evidence for black holes rests on mass determinations of compact objects in X-ray binaries. Attention is presently given to three candidates: Cygnus X-1, LMC X-3, and A0620-00. The last of these, an X-ray nova, is judged to be the most likely candidate.
