Observational evidence for intermediate-mass black holes

M Mezcua - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2017 - World Scientific
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), with masses in the range 1 0 0–1 0 6 M⊙, are the
link between stellar-mass BHs and supermassive BHs (SMBHs). They are thought to be the …

Nuclear activity in nearby galaxies

LC Ho - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2008 - annualreviews.org
A significant fraction of nearby galaxies show evidence of weak nuclear activity unrelated to
normal stellar processes. Recent high-resolution, multiwavelength observations indicate that …

Hidden hearts of neutrino active galaxies
