oMEGACat. VI. Analysis of the overall kinematics of Omega Centauri in 3D: velocity dispersion, kinematic distance, anisotropy, and energy equipartition
Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Callie Clontz +15
Omega Centauri ( Cen) is the Milky Way's most massive globular cluster and is likely the stripped nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy. In this paper, we analyze Cen's kine…

Fast-moving stars around an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri
Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Anil Seth +15
Black holes have been found over a wide range of masses, from stellar remnants with masses of 5-150 solar masses (Msun), to those found at the centers of galaxies with Msu…

Detecting the Black Hole Candidate Population in M51's Young Massive Star Clusters: Constraints on Accreting Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Kristen C. Dage, Evangelia Tremou, Bolivia Cuevas Otahola +24
Intermediate mass black holes (10^2 < M_BH< 10^5 Msun) are an open question in our understanding of black hole evolution and growth. They have long been linked to dense star cluste…
