Notes. Columns: (1) Year of detection; (2) Name (and counterpart name); (3–5) RA–Dec coordinates (J2000), error in astrometry and source of the coordinates; (6–7) Galactic longitude and latitude, respectively; (8–9) distance from Sun and above the Galactic plane; (10) number of outbursts reported after the discovery outburst and (11) references for detection, coordinates and distance. In this catalogue we have included all the BH candidates detected so far. Dynamical BHs are highlighted in grey boxes. .

(†)

In column 5, the letter preceding the error value indicate the source of the coordinates: radio (r), interferometry in radio (e), optical (o), infrared (i), X-rays (x) or a combination of them. In case of different errors in RA and DEC (respectively), both are shown in parenthesis.

(∗)

These values are uncertain estimates.

(1)

IGR J17454-2919: the nature of this transient source is still unclear. Paizis et al. (2015) has proposed that 2MASS J17452768-2919534 is the IR counterpart although it is 2.4′′away from the X-ray position.

(2)

IGR J17451-3022 has shown periodicity in its light curve of ~6.3 h (Jaisawal et al. 2015) which would imply a >70° inclination. However the nature of the compact object is still unclear and it might be a magnetar (Heinke et al. 2014).

(3)

MAXI J1836-194: there is a field star 0.37′′ away from the position of the BH candidate (Russell et al. 2014).

(4)

MAXI J1543-564 has no clear counterpart in optical/IR. Rau et al. (2011a) reported 3 possible objects close or within the radio (Miller-Jones et al. 2011b) and X-ray (Kennea et al. 2011b) error circles.

(5)

Swift J1357.2-0933 in rigour is not a dynamical BHT because it lacks a detection of the secondary star but it has robust mass function determination (Corral-Santana et al. 2013; Mata Sánchez et al. 2015). The distance is still uncertain (see Rau et al. 2011b; Shahbaz et al. 2013; Mata Sánchez et al. 2015)

(6)

XTE J1652-453 has no clear counterpart in IR and there are doubts between close objects.

(7)

Swift J174540.2-290005 is 1 pc from Sgr A* assuming an 8.5 kpc distance (Kennea et al. 2006b). If this transient is an X-ray binary it would be a LMXB (Wang et al. 2006).

(8)

IGR J17497-2821 seems to be blended with a bright star SE of the target (Torres et al. 2006a). Probably located in the Galactic bulge.

(9)

Swift J1753.5-0127 remains in a low/hard X-ray state since its outburst in 2005.

(10)

IGR J17091-3624 showed outbursts in 2007 (Capitanio et al. 2009) and 2011 (Krimm et al. 2011a). Re-examination of archival data showed that is was also active in 1994, 1996 and 2001 (Revnivtsev et al. 2003; in’t Zand et al. 2003; Capitanio et al. 2006).

(11)

XTE J1118+480 showed an outburst in 2005 (Zurita et al. 2005).

(12)

XTE J2012+381 is blended with a star at 1.1′′ (Hynes et al. 1999).

(13)

XTE J1748-288 showed hard spectrum. No counterpart has been found. An unresolved radio source was detected (Hjellming et al. 1998a) but it was located 1’ away from the center of the 1’ uncertainty RXTE position (Strohmayer & Marshall 1998).

(14)

XTE J1550-564 showed a second complete outburst in 2000 (Smith et al. 2000) and other three faint mini-outbursts in 2001, 2002 and 2003 (Tomsick et al. 2001; Belloni et al. 2002; Dubath et al. 2003).

(15)

XTEJ1755-324 has an error radius of 1’ in the coordinates (Remillardet al. 1997a).

(16)

GRS 1737-31 is supposed to be close to the Galactic center (Ueda et al. 1997).

(17)

GRS 1739-278 showed another outburst in 2014 (Miller et al. 2015b).

(18)

XTE J1856+053 has shown two consecutive outbursts with ~70 days interval between them (Sala et al. 2008). This behaviour was seen in the 1996 and 2007 outbursts (Levine & Remillard 2007; Krimm et al. 2007; Sala et al. 2008). This also appeared in the the recent 2015 outburst (Suzuki et al. 2015; Negoro et al. 2015).

KS 1730-312 has an error radius in the astrometry of 3’ (Vargas et al. 1996).

(20)

GRO J1655-40 (N. Sco 1994) has shown several outburst.

(21)

GRS J1915+105 has remained in outburst since its discovery in 1992 (Castro-Tirado et al. 1992a). It is included here because it was detected as a transient source.

(22)

GS 2023+338 (V404 Cyg) showed two outbursts detected in plate scales (1938 and 1956) prior to its detection in X-rays in 1989 (Wachmann 1948; Richter 1989). It has shown another outburst in 2015 (Barthelmy et al. 2015).

(23)

GS 1354-64 (BW Cir) is associated with MX 1353-64 which showed an outburst in 19711972. It showed another outburst in 1997 (Remillard et al. 1997b) and 2015 (Miller et al. 2015a).

(24)

EXO 1846-031 does not have a known counterpart. The error radius in the coordinates is 11′′ (Parmar et al. 1993).

(25)

SLX 1746-331 is a galactic centre source and therefore suffer of large extinction. It showed outbursts in 2003 (Markwardt 2003) and 2007 (Markwardt & Swank 2007). It also showed some activity in 2011 (Ozawa et al. 2011).

(26)

H 1743-322 has shown several outbursts.

(27)

3A 0620-003 showed an outburst in 1917 detected in plate scales prior to its detection in X-rays in 1975 (Eachus et al. 1976).

(28)

KY TrA showed another outburst in 1990 (Barret et al. 1992).

(29)

1H J1659-487 (GX 339-4) is a quasi persistent source.

(30)

4U 1755-338 is a quasi persistent system. This system stayed in outburst for 25 yr until 1996 (Roberts et al. 1996; Angelini & White 2003).

(31)

4U 1543-475 have shown outbursts in 1984, 1992 and 2002 (Kitamoto et al. 1984; Harmon et al. 1992; Miller & Remillard 2002).

(32)

4U 1630-472: It has shown quasi-periodic outbursts with recurrence times of ~600700 d and durations of 100200 d (Kuulkers et al. 1997).

(33)

Cen X-2 is the first transient XRB ever discovered. It has an uncertain position. Kitamoto et al. (1990) proposed that it might be GS 1354-64 (BW Cir), rediscovered in 1987. However, if this were true, it would imply an extreme X-ray flux at its distance of 25 kpc (Casares et al. 2009).
