Observability of Isolated Stellar-mass Black Holes
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) represent the natural end states of massive stars. It is estimated that 10 ^8 stellar-mass BHs are present in the Milky Way galaxy, a significant fraction of which are expected to be isolated. Despite their expected abundance, only about 20 have been detected so far—mo...
