Nearly all BHBs are X-ray novae (see §2 and Table 1) that are discovered when they first go into outburst. Their discovery and subsequent daily monitoring are largely dependent on wide-field X-ray cameras on orbiting satellites. The light curves of all 20 BHBs and many BHCs (Table 1) can be found either in McClintock & Remillard (2006) or in a review paper on pre-RXTE X-ray novae by Chen et al. (1997). These researchers discuss the striking morphological diversity among these light curves, which show broad distributions in their timescales for rise and decay.
