Evidence of a Black Hole in the X-Ray Transient GS 1354-64 (=BW Circini)
We present the first radial velocity curve of the companion star to BWCir that demonstrates the presence of a black hole in this X-raytransient that recorded outbursts in 1987 and 1997 (and possibly1971-1972). We identify weak absorption features corresponding to a G0-5III donor star, strongly veiled by a residual accretion disk thatcontributes 61%-65% of the total light at 6300 Å. The Dopplermotions of these features trace an orbit of P=2.54448 days (or its 1 yralias of P=2.56358 days) and a velocity semiamplitudeK2=279+/-5 km s-1 (or K2=292+/-5 kms-1). Both solutions are equally possible. The mass functionimplied by the shorter period solution is f(M)=5.75+/-0.30Msolar, which, when combined with the rotational broadeningof the tidally locked companion (Vsini=71+/-4 km s-1), yieldsa compact object mass of M1sin3i=7.34+/-0.46 Msolar.This is substantially above the mass of a neutron star under anystandard equation of state of nuclear matter. The companion star isprobably a G subgiant that has evolved off the main sequence in order tofill its Roche lobe. Remarkably, a distance of >=27 kpc is inferredby the companion's luminosity, and this is supported by the largeobserved systemic velocity (γ=103+/-4 km s-1), whichrequires such a distance in order to be consistent with the Galacticrotation curve.

Walraven photometry of nearby southern OB associations
Homogeneous Walraven (VBLUW) photometry is presented for 5260 stars inthe regions of five nearby southern OB associations: Scorpio Centaurus(Sco OB2), Orion OB1, Canis Major OB1, Monoceros OB1, and Scutum OB2.Derived V and (B - V) in the Johnson system are included.
