Medium and mighty: Intermediate-mass black holes can survive in globular clusters
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 … Read more
