No evidence for a central IMBH in M 15

Intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) with expected masses M• ≈ 104 M☉ are thought to bridge the gap between stellar mass black holes (M• ≈ 3 − 100 M☉) and supermassive black holes found at the centre of galaxies (M• > 106 M☉). Until today, no IMBH has been confirmed observationally. The most pro...
