A Radio-selected Black Hole X-Ray Binary Candidate in the Milky Way Globular Cluster M62

A Radio-selected Black Hole X-Ray Binary Candidate in the Milky Way Globular Cluster M62

We report the discovery of a candidate stellar-mass black hole in the Milky Way globular cluster M62. We detected the black hole candidate, which we call M62-VLA1, in the core of the cluster using deep radio continuum imaging from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. M62-VLA1 is a faint source with...
