V Puppis

V Puppis (V Pup) is a star system in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.41.[2] There is a binary star system at the center with a B1 dwarf orbiting a B3 subgiant star.[3] They have an orbital period of 1.45 days and a distance of only 15 solar radii apart. However, the system moves back and forth, indicating that there is a massive object orbiting them with a period around 5.47 years. Based on the mass of the object, its lack of a visible spectrum, and circumstellar matter in the system with many heavy elements (as would be produced by a past supernova in the system), it is probably a black hole.[10][11]
