BLACK HOLES WITH MBH > 10 SOLAR FORM PROMPTLY CELESTIAL ARCHEOLOGY

•Black holes in the halo are the fossils of the most massive formed during the early phases of evolution of the Galaxy.

•.Black holes in the halo may be the remnants of the collapsed massive stars that produced GRBs at z~2.

•Important to test the models of black hole formation and kicks by asymmetric explosions •Black holes and neutron stars in the halo related to: 1) a subsample of unidentified EGRET sources, 2) sources of gravitational waves (binary black holes) UNIDENTIFIED EGRET SOURCES (>100 MeV) TWO GALACTIC SUBSAMPLES: 1) Relics from core-collapsed SN correlated with

the tilted Gould Belt (Grenier, 1998;Gehrels et al. 2000)

2) Variable, soft and faint population at a scale high of ~2 kpc with a distribution of halo objects (Grenier, 2001)

TWO MICROQUASARS IN THE ERROR BOX OF EGRET SOURCES:

• LS 5039: A microquasar (Paredes et al. 2000) • LSI+61 303: X-Ray faint (Harrison et al. 2000) • Precessing microblazars (Kaufman, Romero, Mirabel, 2002) ACCRETION AND JET FORMATION ∆ α T MBH Mirabel, Chaty, Rodriguez et al. 1998
