Description
This paper summarizes the common properties of the currently known
galactic black hole candidates. Particular emphasis is given to optical
studies of the best candidates (those soft X-ray transients with
dynamical evidence) and the problem of the mass determination. The
technique used to achieve this goal (which has been applied to A0620-00,
GS2023+338 and GS1124-68) is described and the results reviewed. High
energy, behavior is also briefly discussed.
