The 11 pages that link to Cygnus X-1, each with the reason it gives.

• Black holeBroader topic: Its X-ray emissions and companion star made it an early strong candidate.

• Binary starBroader topic: Gas from its stellar companion feeds a bright accretion flow around a black hole.

• Massive starRelated: The system links the evolution of a massive star to a black-hole remnant.

• X-ray binaryBroader topic: It is a well-studied example of wind-fed accretion onto a black hole.

• UhuruBroader topic: Uhuru observations helped establish its importance as a compact X-ray source.

• Scorpius X-1Compared with: It contrasts with Scorpius X-1 in both compact-object type and companion-star mass.

• DenebRelated: This famous Cygnus system provides a nearby landmark in the constellation Deneb anchors.

• Stellar black holeBroader topic: It became one of the first widely accepted stellar black-hole systems.

• Astrophysical jetBroader topic: Its relativistic radio jets show that stellar-mass black holes can launch powerful outflows.

• Astronomical black holesBroader topic: Its X-ray emission and stellar motion made it a landmark black-hole candidate.

• Black hole astronomyBroader topic: It is a classic case where orbital motion and X-ray emission support a black hole interpretation.
