A Reanalysis of the Isolated Black Hole Candidate OGLE-2011-BLG-0462/MOA-2011-BLG-191

There are expected to be ∼10 ^8 isolated black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way. OGLE-2011-BLG-0462/MOA-2011-BLG-191 (OB110462) is the only such BH with a mass measurement to date. However, its mass is disputed: Lam et al. measured a lower mass of 1.6–4.4 M _⊙ , while Sahu et al. and Mróz et al. measure...
