An observational quantity of special interest is the mass function, $f(M)\equiv P_{orb}{K}_2^3/2\pi G=M_{1}si{n}^{3}i/(1+q{)}^2$ (see Table 1, column 6). The observables on the left side of this equation are the orbital period Porb and the half-amplitude of the velocity curve of the secondary $K_2$. On the right, the quantity of greatest interest is $M_1$, the mass of the BH primary (given in column 7); the other parameters are the orbital inclination angle $i$ and the mass ratio $q\equiv M_2/M_1$, where $M_2$ is the mass of the secondary.
