Deep radio imaging of 47 Tuc identifies the peculiar X-ray source X9 as a new black hole candidate

We report the detection of steady radio emission from the known X-ray source X9 in the globular cluster 47 Tuc. With a double-peaked C iv emission line in its ultraviolet spectrum providing a clear signature of accretion, this source had been previously classified as a cataclysmic variable. In deep...
