  8. #8 Centaurus X-3 — --9,223,372,036,854,775,808 kg

    binary star with an X-ray pulsar in the constellation Centaurus

    Centaurus X-3 is an X-ray pulsar with a period of 4.84 seconds. It was the first X-ray pulsar to be discovered, and the third X-ray source to be discovered in the constellation Centaurus. The system consists of a neutron star orbiting a massive, O-type supergiant star dubbed Krzemiński's star after its discoverer, Wojciech Krzemiński. Matter is being accreted from the star onto the neutron star, resulting in X-ray emission. Read more on Wikipedia.
