- ItemInvestigating the retention of intermediate-mass black holes in star clusters using N-body simulations(2013) Konstantinidis, Symeon; Amaro-Seoane, Pau; Kokkotas, Kostas D.Context. Unlike supermassive and stellar-mass black holes (SBHs), the existence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) with masses ranging between 102-5 M-circle dot has not yet been confirmed. The main problem in the detection is that the innermost stellar kinematics of globular clusters (GCs) or small galaxies, the possible natural loci to IMBHs, are very difficult to resolve. However, if IMBHs reside in the centre of GCs, a possibility is that they interact dynamically with their environment. A binary formed with the IMBH and a compact object of the GC would naturally lead to a prominent source of gravitational radiation, detectable with future observatories.
