Tidal Stripping of a White Dwarf by an Intermediate-mass Black Hole
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 During the inspiralling of a white dwarf (WD) into an intermediate-mass black hole (∼10 ^2−5 M _⊙ ), both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation are emitted.

Investigating slim disk solutions for HLX-1 in ESO 243-49 [PDF]
, 2012 The hyper luminous X-ray source HLX-1 in the galaxy ESO 243-49, currently the best intermediate mass black hole candidate, displays spectral transitions similar to those observed in Galactic black hole binaries, but with a luminosity 100-1000 times ...

A Comparison of Intermediate Mass Black Hole Candidate ULXs and Stellar-Mass Black Holes [PDF]
, 2004 Cool thermal emission components have recently been revealed in the X-ray spectra of a small number of ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) sources with L_X > 1 E+40 erg/s in nearby galaxies.

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.

Mass estimate of the Swift J 164449.3+573451 supermassive black hole based on the 3:2 QPO resonance hypothesis [PDF]
, 2012 A dormant Swift source J 164449.3+573451 (Sw 164449+57)recently experienced a powerful outburst, caused most probably by a tidal disruption of a star by the super-massive black hole at the center of the source.

Optically thick winds of very massive stars suppress intermediate-mass black hole formation
Astronomy & AstrophysicsIntermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are the link between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. Gravitational waves have started to unveil a population of IMBHs in the ~100–300 M⊙ range. Here, we investigate the formation of IMBHs from non-rotating

Intermediate-mass Black Holes’ Effects on Compact Object Binaries
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Abstract Although their existence is not yet confirmed observationally, intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may play a key role in the dynamics of galactic nuclei. In this paper, we neglect the effect of the nuclear star cluster itself and investigate only how a small reservoir of IMBHs influences the secular dynamics of stellar-mass ...

Fast Spinning Pulsars as Probes of Massive Black Holes' Gravity [PDF]
, 2014 Dwarf galaxies and globular clusters may contain intermediate mass black holes ($10^{3}$ to $10^{5}$ solar masses) in their cores. Estimates of ~$10^{3}$ neutron stars in the central parsec of the Galaxy and similar numbers in small elliptical galaxies ...

Growing the Intermediate-mass Black Hole in Omega Centauri
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe recent detection of fast-moving stars in the core of Omega Centauri ( ω Cen), the most massive globular cluster (GC) in the Milky Way, has provided strong evidence for the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH).
