cds-question@unistra.frx-ray-binary-starsapparent-magnitudeDuring the last ~50 years, the population of black hole candidates in X-ray binaries has increased considerably, with 59 Galactic objects being detected in transient low-mass X-ray binaries, as well as a few in persistent systems (including ~5 extragalactic binaries). We collect near-infrared, optical, and X-ray information spread over hundreds of references to study the population of black holes in X-ray transients as a whole. We present the most updated catalogue of black hole transients. This contains X-ray, optical, and near-infrared observations, together with their astrometric and dynamical properties. The catalogue provides new and useful information in both statistical and observational parameters and provides a thorough and complete overview of the black hole population in the Milky Way. Analysing the distances and spatial distribution of the observed systems, we estimate a total population of ~1300 Galactic black hole transients. This means that we have only discovered less than ~5% of the total Galactic distribution. The complete version of this catalogue will be continuously updated online and in the Virtual Observatory, including finding charts and data in other wavelengths.2016A&A...587A..61Chttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/587/A61CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/587/A61https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/587/A61http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/587/A61https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/587/A61https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/587/A61http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/587/A61GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/587/A61/tablea1 (Astrometric properties, number of outbursts and orbital periods of all the black hole transients)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/587/A61/tablea1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/587/A61/tablea1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/587/A61/tablea1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true266.365375-29.331619440.0055555555555555566/1226 5609 13036 14610 14649 22159 25690 28719 28723 28731 28744 28798 28805 28813 28825 28827 28830-28831 28852 28857 28885 28898 28900 28922 28968 29078 29180 29208 29220 29416 29691 29885 30260 30428 30618 30622 32208 37196 38470 41404 41522 41581 41583 41748 41809-41810 42189 42196 42215 42279 42378 42441 42468 42487 425337.952274030004205e-20 1.0188844282367877e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/587/A61?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/587/A61/notes2Notes to tablea2.datrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
