Abstract
Van den Heuvel and Tauris argue that if the red giant star in the system 2MASS J05215658+4359220 has a mass of 1 solar mass (M☉), then its unseen companion could be a binary composed of two 0.9 M☉ stars, making a triple system. We contend that the existing data are most consistent with a giant of mass 3.2+−1.01.0 M☉, implying a black hole companion of 3.3+−2.80.7 M☉
