Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Feedback in Dwarf Galaxies: a View from Cosmological Simulations [PDF]
, 2020 Black holes are usually observed to be of stellar-mass or supermassive. By natural extension, there should be a population of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes (IMBHs: with mass between 100 to 106M☉) in the Universe; which has started to been observed.

Tidal capture of stars by intermediate-mass black holes [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2006 Recent X-ray observations and theoretical modelling have made it plausible that some ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) are powered by intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). N-body simulations have also shown that runaway merging of stars in dense star clusters is a way to form IMBHs.

A Search for Gravitational Waves from Perturbed Black Hole Ringdowns in LIGO Data [PDF]
, 2008 According to General Relativity a perturbed black hole will return to a stable configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation in a superposition of quasi-normal modes. Such a perturbation will occur due to the coalescence of a black hole binary,

The Black Hole Mass Function: From Stellar to Supermassive [PDF]
, 2023 The overall purpose of this thesis is to establish the black hole (BH) mass function, from stellar to supermassive. We divide this work into two: 1) the stellar black hole mass function covering the mass range $m_{\bullet} \sim 5 - 150 \ M_{\odot}$; 2 ...

The Nature of the IMBH Candidate CXO J133815.6+043255: High-frequency Radio Emission
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The ultraluminous X-ray source CXO J133815.6+043255 is a strong candidate for a bona fide intermediate-mass black hole residing in the outskirts of NGC 5252.

Growth of Intermediate‐Mass Black Holes in Globular Clusters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2004 We present results of numerical simulations of sequences of binary-single scattering events of black holes in dense stellar environments. The simulations cover a wide range of mass ratios from equal mass objects to 1000:10:10 solar masses and compare purely Newtonian simulations to simulations in which Newtonian encounters are interspersed with ...

Intermediate-mass black hole incubators
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The stellar dynamical evolution of massive star clusters formed during starburst periods leads to the segregation of ≳104 M⊙ stellar-mass black hole sub-clusters in their centres.

THE CLOSE STELLAR COMPANIONS TO INTERMEDIATE-MASS BLACK HOLES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT When embedded in dense cluster cores, intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) acquire close stellar or stellar-remnant companions. These companions are not only gravitationally bound, but also tend to hierarchically isolate from other cluster stars through series of multibody encounters.

On the dynamic formation of accreting intermediate-mass black holes [PDF]
Astronomical & Astrophysical Transactions, 2007 We compute the probability that intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) capture companions due to dynamical interactions and become accreting sources, and explore the possibility that the accreting IMBHs would appear as ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs). We focus on IMBHs originating from low-metallicity Population III stars.

The Formation of Intermediate-mass Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 Abstract Most stellar evolution models predict that black holes (BHs) should not exist above approximately 50–70 M ⊙, the lower limit of the pair-instability mass gap. However, recent LIGO/Virgo detections indicate the existence of BHs with masses at and above this threshold.
