Black holes have limited windows of observability, and consequently are rarely identified in association with supernova remnants. Analysing multi-messenger data, we show that MAXI J1535-571 is the black hole produced in the stellar explosion that gave rise to the supernova remnant G323.7-1.0, making it the first case of an association between a black hole low-mass X-ray binary and a supernova remnant. Given this connection, we can infer from our modelling that the progenitor system was a close binary whose primary star had an initial mass of approx. 23-35 solar masses with a companion star about 10 times less massive.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-29T03:38:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "black hole low-mass x-ray binary", "nascent black hole low-mass x-ray", "supernova remnant", "high-mass star collapses" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
