Abstract Lists are given of single-line, spectroscopic binaries with large mass functions. The absence of a secondary spectrum in these systems could, in principle, result from the secondary star's being either a collapsed star or a massive neutron star. For all these systems, however, other explanations are possible in the light of present observations. Statistical considerations suggest that few, if any, of the systems in these lists contain collapsed or neutron-star secondaries. None of these binary systems coincide with any published X-ray source position Publication: The Astrophysical Journal Pub Date: June 1969 DOI: 10.1086/150032 Bibcode: 1969ApJ...156.1013T full text sources ADS | data products SIMBAD (74)
