Revealing the intermediate-mass black hole at the heart of the dwarf galaxy NGC 404 with sub-parsec resolution ALMA observations [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 We estimate the mass of the intermediate-mass black hole at the heart of the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 404 using Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) observations of the molecular interstellar medium at an unprecedented linear ...

Study of the intermediate mass ratio black hole binary merger up to 1000:1 with numerical relativity [PDF]
Classical and quantum gravity, 2022 We explicitly demonstrate that current numerical relativity techniques are able to accurately evolve black hole binaries with mass ratios of the order of 1000:1. This proof of principle is relevant for future third generation gravitational wave detectors

An intermediate‐mass black hole candidate in M51? [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2016 AbstractWe present the current results of an investigation into M51 ULX‐7, using archival data from XMM‐Newton, Chandra and NuSTAR, and optical and radio data from HST and VLA. The source has a consistently hard power‐law X‐ray spectrum and high short‐term variability.

Investigating the mass of the intermediate mass black hole candidate HLX-1 with the SLIMBH model [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper we present a comprehensive study of the mass of the intermediate mass black hole candidate HLX-1 in the galaxy ESO 243-49. We analyse the continuum X-ray spectra collected by Swift, XMM-Newton, and Chandra with the slim disc model, SLIMBH ...

Galactic Center IRS 13E: Colliding Stellar Winds or an Intermediate-mass Black Hole? [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 A small cluster of massive stars residing in the Galactic center, collectively known as IRS 13E, is of special interest due to its close proximity to the central supermassive black hole Sgr A* and the possibility that an embedded intermediate-mass black ...

Features of globular cluster’s dynamics with an intermediate-mass black hole
Open Astronomy, 2018 In this paper, we address the question of how a central intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) in a globular cluster (GC) affects dynamics, core collapse, and formation of the binary population.

Soap Bubbles in Outer Space: Interaction of a Domain Wall with a Black Hole [PDF]
, 1998 We discuss the generalized Plateau problem in the 3+1 dimensional Schwarzschild background. This represents the physical situation, which could for instance have appeared in the early universe, where a cosmic membrane (thin domain wall) is located near a
