Astronomy Cast Ep. 755: Intermediate Mass Black Holes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaMNrTyBIWk


Streamed live on May 5, 2025.


Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay.


There are stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. But very
little evidence of anything in between. Where are all the
intermediate-mass black holes that should be the building blocks
of the biggest ones? Actually, the science has been accelerating
rapidly and we now know of hundreds of them. The question marks
in our understanding are slowly getting replaced with data. Let's
review what we now know about intermediate mass black holes and
their origins.
