Mid-Sized Giants: The Quest for Intermediate Mass Black Holes

Join us as we investigate intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs)—the missing link between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. We explore the strongest clues—from HLX-1’s extreme X-ray luminosity and spectral state changes to debated dynamical hints in globular clusters like 47 Tucanae—and discuss why confirming IMBHs is so challenging and what their existence would mean for black hole growth and galaxy evolution.
