Gaia BH3 (Gaia DR3 4318465066420528000) is a binary system consisting of a metal-poor giant star with spectral type G and a stellar-mass black hole. Gaia BH3 is located 1926 light years away (590.6±5.8 pc away) in the constellation of Aquila. Gaia BH3 is the first black hole discovered from preliminary Gaia DR4 astrometric data.

The black hole and star orbit the system barycentre every 11.6 years, with an orbital distance ranging from 4.5–29 AU. The black hole's mass is 32.70 M, the heaviest known stellar black hole in the Milky Way.

The black hole Gaia BH3 is together with Cygnus X-1 the only known stellar black hole more massive than about 10 M. The mass of Gaia BH3 is quite similar to the mass of merging binary black holes found via gravitational waves. These massive black holes were suspected to be formed by metal-poor stars and the fact that Gaia BH3 has a metal-poor companion strengthens this conclusion.

Gaia BH3 was found to be part of a disrupted star cluster of low mass and this star cluster is today a halo stellar stream, called ED-2. This stellar stream is very old, with an age comparable to the globular cluster Messier 92. This means that Gaia BH3 likely formed more than 13 billion years ago and the black hole might have formed via direct collapse of a massive star. Alternatively the black hole could have formed via binary interaction inside the star cluster. The ED-2 star cluster has a mass between 2,000 M and 42,000 M. siz bulun kara delik olduğuna emin misiniz Benim hesaplarıma göre 1 milyon 130.000 kilometre yarı çapında bir yıldız olarak çıkıyor Kütle çekimi 2930 Newton yörüngesinde dönen yıldızın 2 milyar 419 milyon 40 kilometre mesafeli41.518,902376749 metrelik saniye hıza sahip

Discovery

Gaia BH3 was identified in astrometric observations with Gaia, during an analysis in preparation for Data Release 4. It was announced with the publication of a scientific paper in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics on 16 April 2024.
