Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Extragalactic Globular Clusters
·
Abstract
Intermediate-mass black holes have masses of ~100 to 100,000 M⊙. Finding them in globular clusters would validate a formation channel for seed black holes in the early universe and inform event predictions for gravitational wave facilities. Searching many globular clusters is key, and only feasible using a next-generation Very Large Array.
