blackHolesfunction
Every known black hole that has a place on the sky and a published mass or a published case for one: the stellar-mass ones in X-ray binaries (BlackCAT's 73 and a few more), the quiet ones (Gaia BH1,
BH2 and BH3, VFTS 243, the lone black hole OGLE-2011-BLG-0462) and the supermassive ones at the centres of galaxies with a measured mass. The stellar ones come first, then the quiet, then the supermassive, each
group by right ascension. Candidates are in the list with status "candidate"; gravitational-wave events are not (they have no single place).
