Description

We select and gauge a sample of confirmed galactic black holes, both in X-ray binary systems and "dormant", evaluating their masses individually with statistical methods. The 41 objects double the number used to explore the mass distribuition, which is also addressed as a whole. The formation channels and a comparison to the extragalactic distribution seen in GW events are also addressed.
