Talk:A0620-00

CalRis (talk) 11:28, 9 February 2014 (UTC): I suggest removing the "candidate black hole"-status of A0620-00 and label the dark object as a confirmed black hole. Reason: J. Casares and P.G. Jonker collect in their 2013-Paper Mass Measurements of Stellar and Intermediate-Mass Black-Holes mass measurements for various black hole x-ray transients, among them A0620-00. The minimal masses from various papers are given as 7.3, 4.1, 5, 3.3, 11.0, and 6.6. Casares/Jonker recommend the value of 6.6 (± 0.3) as the likeliest value. These values are all above the upper masses of neutron stars as defined by the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff%20limit. And although that upper limit is not exactly known, the masses given are all well above that limit. The only outlier is the mass of 3.3, but that one is the lower limit of a mass estimate of 3.3−13.6 solar masses. Also Kuulkers et al. call A0620-00 in their 2013-paper MAXI J1659-152: The shortest orbital period black-hole transient in outburst A0620-00 the very first transient source with a confirmed black hole. Bye, CalRis.

Orphaned references in A0620-00
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of A0620-00's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Simbad": From 20 Monocerotis:  From 19 Monocerotis:  From 18 Monocerotis:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:44, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Name 1A 0620-00 vs A0620-00
Can somebody tell me where does the name "1A 0620-00" come from? What does "1A" mean? What does "0620-00" mean? Why is it abbreviated "A0620-00"? Why choose the abbreviated name as wiki title (French wiki does not do that)? Thanks. I'll let whatever bot sign for me.
