A very large array search for intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters in M81
Nantais et al. used the Hubble Space Telescope to localize probable globular clusters (GCs) in M81, a spiral galaxy at a distance of 3.63 Mpc. Theory predicts that GCs can host intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) with masses MBH ~100-100,000M. Finding IMBHs in GCs could validate a formation channe...
