Black Hole question/s

Hi CMDR's

I can't find the definitive answer to these questions, anyone out there who knows?

Do Black Holes show up on the Filtered Spectral Analysis tuning range of the FSS Scanner?.... if so where in the spectrum do they appear?

(Or do Black Holes just appear on the FSS 'map' as do stars, without appearing on the 'tuning' range?)

They act as stars.

Are all stellar bodies automatically scanned on entry into a system? Is there a range? Do you need to actually scan them anyways to get the discovered by tag?

I'm actually curious about this myself.

Good question.............

All stars, including black holes and brown dwarfs show up instantly with a single honk.

That gives you the scan data for the stars and if you sell the data you get the tag. No detailed scanning required.

There is a passive scan which scans bodies that are in close range to you including the arrival star and any planets within a certain distance. No ADS honk required.
I don't know if very distant companion stars show up passively like this but I do know that an ADS honk will reveal all the stars, even very distant ones.

No, they do not. If you want to see on the radar and Tag an Unexplored star that's outside passive scan range, you need to honk.

If someone else has already Tagged a distant star, it will appear on your radar, navigation targets list etc. but be Unexplored to you; you will still need to honk to see the data for the star (and claim the non-first-discoverer credits voucher for the data).

It should also be pointed out that "stars" by this definition are anything that the game classifies as a "star" ie. uses the "star" icon on the radar map for. Regular stars, giant stars, dying stars, brown dwarfs (L, T and Y class), stellar remnants (black holes, white dwarfs and neutron stars) and protostars (Herbigs and T Tauris) all qualify. It also doesn't matter if they're in "stellar" orbits (co-orbiting with the primary star) or in "planetary" orbits (sitting among the string of regular planets); they all still qualify as "stars" and so all get revealed to you with the system honk.
