The brief

You need to place 2 black holes in the grid. We would rather not invoke a binary black hole merger, as a result we must keep the black holes out of each others orbit. The black holes cannot share any edge of any cells, but may touch diagonally.

Black holes are mysterious creatures and a lot is unknown. However, in this puzzle, we know that they have a singularity each, and are surrounded by an accretion disk. The singularity is a single cell, and may not have a smaller value than any of the cells in its accretion disk (the surrounding 8 cells). Altogether, each black hole is made up of 9 cells total.

Each accretion disk obeys a different rule, one such disk is a region sum line, where box borders that divide the disk must sum to the same total. The other disk is a parity line, adjacent digits differ in parity (odd/even).

Accompanying these objects are smaller bodies. Cells separated by a red dwarf (red dot) are in a 1:2 ratio. Cells separated by a white dwarf (white dot) are consecutive.

Finally, there seems to be a small planet in r1c1. Please make sure this digit is odd.

Not all red or white dwarfs are given.
