DESI uncovers 300 intermediate-mass black holes plus 2,500 active black holes in dwarf galaxies

Summary by Phys.org
Using early data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), a team of scientists have compiled the largest sample ever of dwarf galaxies that host an actively feeding black hole, as well as the most extensive collection of intermediate-mass black hole candidates to date.

300 new intermediate-mass black holes plus 2500 new active black holes in dwarf galaxies discovered

Within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's early data, scientists have uncovered the largest samples ever of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies hosting an active black hole, more than tripling the existing census of both. These large statistical samples will allow for more in-depth studies of the dynamics between dwarf galaxy evolution and black hole growth, and open up vast discovery potential surrounding the evolution of t…

Astronomers Discover Largest Collection of Missing Link Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies

A significant breakthrough has been reported in the field of astrophysics with the identification of a vast collection of feeding black holes located in the centres of dwarf galaxies. These galaxies, which are smaller and less luminous than larger counterparts, contain varying numbers of stars but limited amounts of gas. The discovery, facilitated by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), has provided researchers with an extensive samp…

DESI Found 300 Candidate Intermediate Mass Black Holes

If Intermediate-Mass Black Holes (IMBHs) are real, astronomers expect to find them in dwarf galaxies and globular clusters. There’s tantalizing evidence that they exist but no conclusive proof. So far, there are only candidates. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has found 300 additional candidate IMBHs. Logic says that IMBHs should exist. We know of stellar-mass black holes, and we know of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Stellar-…
