Medium and mighty: intermediate-mass black holes can survive in globular clusters - EurekAlert
Joint research led by Michiko Fujii of The University of Tokyo demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed stars. The first ever star-by-star massive cluster-formation simulations revealed that sufficiently dense molecular clouds, the “birthing nests” of star clusters, can give birth to very massive stars that evolve into intermediate-mass black holes. The findings were published in the journal Science.
