DOI: 10.1007/s10509-019-3657-2
Abstract: This communication aims to expose further the assertions made in microscopic theory of black hole (MTBH) to the physics of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs). The MTBH explores the most important spontaneous breaking of gravitation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07511-z
Abstract: Black holes have been found over a wide range of masses, from stellar remnants with masses of 5–150 solar masses (M☉), to those found at the centres of galaxies with M > 105M☉. However, only a few… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1475-7516/2025/01/084
Abstract: Stellar-mass black-hole binaries are the most numerous gravitational-wave sources observed to date. Their properties make them suitable for observation both by ground- and space-based detectors. Starting from synthetic catalogues constructed based on observational constraints from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1538-3873/ae16d6
Abstract: JWST/MIRI observations can place photometric limits on the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) near the Galactic Centre. The stellar complex IRS 13E, a co-moving conglomerate of young and massive stars, is a prime… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa1338
Abstract: Coalescence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) as a result of the migration toward galactic centers via dynamical friction may contribute to the formation of supermassive BHs. Here we reinvestigate the gaseous dynamical friction, which was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1544
Abstract: While it is well established that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) co-evolve with their host galaxy, it is currently less clear how lower-mass black holes, so-called intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), evolve within their dwarf galaxy hosts.… read more here.

A search for intermediate-mass black holes in compact stellar systems through optical emissions from tidal disruption events

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae960
Abstract: Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBH) are expected to exist in globular clusters (GCs) and compact stellar systems (CSS) in general, but none have been conclusively detected. Tidal disruption events (TDEs), where a star is tidally disrupted… read more here.

Partial tidal disruptions of spinning eccentric white dwarfs by spinning intermediate-mass black holes

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staf1270
Abstract: Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, $\sim 10^2\!-\!10^5\, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }$) are often dubbed as the missing link between stellar mass ($\lesssim 10^2\, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }$) and supermassive ($\gtrsim 10^{5-6} \, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }$) BHs. Observational signatures of these can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staf1311
Abstract: Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) of low-mass white dwarfs (WDs, 0.1 − 0.3 M⊙) around spinning intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, 103 − 105 M⊙) offer unique opportunities for multi-messenger astronomy, emitting both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) signals. Yet, despite their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staf237
Abstract: The brightest steady sources of radiation in the universe, active galactic nuclei (AGN), are powered by gas accretion onto a central supermassive black hole (SMBH). The large sizes and accretion rates implicated in AGN accretion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx1755
Abstract: Tidal disruption events (TDEs) of stars by single or binary supermassive black holes (SMBHs) brighten galactic nuclei and reveal a population of otherwise dormant black holes. Adopting event rates from the literature, we aim to… read more here.
